Monroe County taxpayers paid $94,070 in County Flood Protection Tax in January, according to Illinois tax records.

This figure marks a significant increase from the previous month, where County Flood Protection Tax collection stood at $77,675.

Over the past 12 months, Monroe County's residents have collectively paid a total of $903,911 in County Flood Protection Tax.

The County Flood Protection Tax, a crucial revenue stream, is primarily allocated for other taxing jurisdictions use.

Despite fluctuations in tax collection, Illinois continues to be one of the highest-taxed states in the U.S. According to a Wallet Hub study from March 2023, the state ranked as having the highest tax burden, approximately 39.83% above the national average.

Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker is accused of adding more than $5.2 billion in new or higher taxes since coming into power in early 2019. As a business owner, he has a fortune of more than $3 billion, largely based on his family's wealth and connections.
