The Illinois School Code authorizes Boards of Education to levy a tax on the real property within the district to support its public schools. The Illinois property tax cap permits the Board to increase its tax extension by an amount limited to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), capped at 5.0% (percent), plus any new property growth that may have occurred during the past year. The tentative levy is set at an amount to capture the taxes from the allowable CPI increase and new growth.
