University Park has been operating without a budget since May, two village trustees say, and the village missed a deadline to approve the 2023 property tax levy.

By mid to late March, Hitchins said municipalities are given their tax extensions, meaning the final calculation of the property tax levy. So, as long as the village files the levy before mid to late March, the late filing will only affect the clerk’s office staff completing the property tax levy calculation, he said.In the eight years he has worked in the office, Hitchins said one municipality filed its approved property tax levy a day late. He could not recall which one.
The University Park Village Board had a special meeting scheduled for Dec. 20, but it was canceled “due to circumstances beyond our control, resulting in the lack of a quorum of the board of trustees,” according to the agenda. The village’s expenses have decreased in the last two years, from about $16.7 million to $13.3 million, according to the proposed budget.
Brooks said the budget and levy should be approved by the board before the fiscal year starts, which means the village is seven months behind on this budget.“The levy not being passed is a very bad problem,” Brooks said. “The village needs money to operate. Passing the levy is the most important part of the process.”
