Director David Harris | Illinois Department of Revenue

Addison taxpayers paid the 16th largest sum in sales taxes per municipality in December 2024, according to <a href="https://www2.illinois.gov/rev/localgovernments/disbursements/salesrelated/Pages/Monthly-Archive.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois tax records</a>.</p> <p>In total, Addison residents paid $3.2 million in sales taxes during December 2024.</p> <p>Addison ranked 25th in the Prairie State the month before, with $2.6 million spent in sales taxes.</p> <p>The Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax accounted for the largest share of sales taxes paid by Addison residents in December 2024.</p> <p>In Illinois, the <a href="https://tax.illinois.gov/research/taxinformation/sales/homerule.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax</a> applies to a broad range of general merchandise.
