State Senator Sally Turner was a part of a press conference this morning (5/13/26) at the Illinois State Capitol to discuss proposals aimed at improving Illinois’ property tax system by creating greater consistency in assessments for wind and solar energy projects, reducing unnecessary paperwork for senior citizens receiving homestead exemptions, creating a new property tax exemption for qualifying senior citizens, and modernizing how property assessment information is made available to the public.
“Right now, Illinois uses an outdated formular to determine how wind and solar projects are taxed,” said Senator Turner
