DU PAGE – Few things are more disturbing than getting a letter in the mail saying you need to pay up, or you'll lose the roof over your head and your hard-earned investment.
That's what DuPage County property owners are being reminded of through the mail and on the county's website:
The first installment of DuPage County's property taxes are due June 3, the second September 3.
You have a month to pay up, or you'll be publicly reprimanded. You have two months to pay up, or your property will go on the auction block.
Just to let you know – in case you thought paying your property taxes was optional, or they're understanding about taxes.
They're not. Pay up. Or your house is on the auction block.
