CHAMPAIGN - The Champaign Park District will hold a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, on its plan to raise its property tax levy, according to a hearing notice the district has posted.

The notice puts the estimated levy for the fiscal year starting May 1, 2027, at $18,893,710, a 3.33% increase over the previous year. Because that is under 105% of last year's extension, the notice says a Truth in Taxation notice is not required. The figures match the estimate in the board's Oct. 14 packet, which this paper reported Oct. 15.

People who want to testify can contact board Secretary Marguerite Bailey at 706 Kenwood Road, Champaign, by phone at (217) 819-3826 or by email at marguerite.bailey@champaignparks.org. The notice does not say where the hearing will be held.
