商业税收上诉将20亿美元的负担转移给房主,对低收入地区的影响最大。 Commercial tax appeals shift $2 billion burden onto homeowners, hitting low-income areas hardest.

库克县财务主任玛丽亚·帕帕斯最近的报告着重说明了商业财产税上诉如何将20亿美元的税收负担转移给房主。 A recent report by Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas highlights how commercial property tax appeals have shifted a $2 billion tax burden onto homeowners. 在2021年至2023年的重新评估周期中,商业财产税下降了近20%,而住宅税上升了16%以上。 During the 2021 to 2023 reassessment cycle, commercial property taxes dropped nearly 20%, while residential taxes rose over 16%. 报告还指出,低收入地区的房主(主要是少数民族人口)的账单增加了约10%,而高收入地区的账单则增加了5%。 The report also notes that homeowners in low-income areas, primarily minority populations, saw their bills increase by about 10%, compared to a 5% rise in high-income areas. Pappas建议政府削减支出或制定“断路器”法, 以提供财产税减免。 Pappas suggests government spending cuts or a "circuit breaker" law to offer property tax relief.
