Peoria County Ways & Means Committee

The Peoria County Ways & Means Committee met on June 22, 2026, to discuss various county administrative updates and resolutions. Key procurement-related discussions included a resolution concerning a new property tax exemption for new residential construction owned by municipal governments and sold to homeowners, which aims to incentivize housing development by providing a 10-year exemption on equalized assessed value. This policy, applicable countywide, was unanimously approved. Other topics included election judge recruitment efforts for the upcoming general election, preparations for the 2027 county-wide property reassessment involving vendor collaboration on evaluation systems, and updates on tax distributions and paperless processing improvements by the Treasurer's office. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the committee addressed budget-related policy affecting future municipal property developments.
