McLaughlin to host ‘Don’t Overpay!’ property tax event

State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, R-Barrington, will host a free “Don’t Overpay!” property tax appeal event Aug. 1 at the Barrington Area Library. The event is designed to help local residents better understand and navigate the property tax appeals process.

“Property taxes and out-of-control government spending continue to hurt families across our region,” McLaughlin said in a news release. “As a former mayor who lowered our village’s tax levy seven times, I understand how critical it is for taxpayers to be informed and proactive in ensuring fair and accurate assessments.”

The event will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Barrington Area Library, 505 N. Northwest Highway in Barrington.

McLaughlin’s legislative staff will be available to answer questions about state issues and provide assistance with constituent services.
