About Illinois Tax Proration

Paid in arrears: Since Illinois property taxes are paid in arrears, tax proration ensures that the buyer is fairly compensated for the tax bills they will receive after the closing, for the period in time in which the seller still owned the property.

Two installments: The property tax bills are typically paid in two installments, usually due in the spring and fall of the following year. In many counties, the first installment is due around June 1st and the second around September 1st.
