Township Sees Significant Growth as Assessor Reports 39 New Home Construction Sites
GREEN GARDEN TOWNSHIP — Green Garden Township is experiencing substantial residential growth with 39 new home construction sites currently underway, according to a report delivered by Township Assessor Bushong at the February board meeting.
“There are 39 new home construction sites plus many accessory structures ready for complete field checks in 2025, with many closer to completion,” Bushong reported, adding that she is “looking for qualified field technicians” to help manage the increased workload.
Bushong highlighted several trends affecting township growth and finances, including farmland being replaced by new residential homes and an increasing number of property owners over 65 years of age. She also noted that home values continue to rise due to “high quality custom homes, high prices, low inventory, and high home sale values.”
The assessor warned residents to expect potential tax impacts later this year. “Due to certain taxing body increases, she expects a county applied increase to all township assessed values to be announced this summer,” according to meeting minutes.
Bushong urged residents to review their property assessment values and building information on the Will County Supervisor of Assessments website and to contact her office before May, when the first tax bills go out, if they notice any errors or have questions. She emphasized that making changes becomes “more difficult” after tax bills are issued.
The assessor also outlined the importance of timely field work and detailed the process of entering new construction into the assessment database, mentioning she is currently “working on reviewing recent sales and equalizing assessments in different areas.”
The township’s growth patterns and changing demographics could have significant implications for future planning and services. These residential developments come as the township is in the process of updating its comprehensive plan to guide future growth and development.
