Do residents pay more tax, as more non-residents use the Park District?

An Oak Brook resident who is In-District pays 8.46% of their total property tax bill to the Oak Brook Park District. Thirty-one (31) percent of the Park District Tax Levy is paid for by corporations, roughly $1.7M. Forty percent of the Park District’s revenue comes from property taxes.  Forty-seven percent of the Park District revenues comes from “Charges for Services and Programs”.  Any “Out of District” patrons pay at least 25% more in fees for programming and 20% more in a membership.  The only exception to this rule is for Senior Programming as we try to keep all fees at the minimum.  Most tax levy expenditures go to our beautiful parks, repairs and maintenance, and administrative services.
