Property Tax Rebate Program

The City of Chicago Property Tax Rebate Program provides working- and middle-class families and seniors some property tax relief through a City-funded rebate. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago City Council are implementing this rebate program to offset the property tax increase needed to fund the pensions of our first responders.

Building on Burnham

Mayor Emanuel announced Building on Burnham, a comprehensive strategy to invest in Chicago’s waterfronts, parks and neighborhoods.

The plan builds on Daniel Burnham’s vision to bring more open spaces and recreational assets to residents in every neighborhood.
