Roselle residents rank 92nd in total sales taxes paid per muncipality in Illinois for August

Director David Harris | Illinois Department of Revenue

Roselle taxpayers ranked 92nd in total sales taxes paid per municipality in August, 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, residents paid just over $1.1 million in sales taxes during that month.</p> <p>Roselle ranked 120th in the Prairie State the month before, with $892,676 spent in sales taxes.</p> <p>The largest share of sales taxes paid by Roselle residents in August came from the Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax.</p> <p>In Illinois, the <a href="https://tax.illinois.gov/research/taxinformation/sales/homerule.html" id="isPasted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax</a> applies to a wide range of general merchandise. It operates similarly to the state sales tax but may exclude certain items, such as vehicles and specific foods, drugs, and medical appliances that require state agency titling or registration. This tax can be set in small increments without a maximum limit, though its implementation is optional, and not all municipalities choose to adopt it. The revenue generated is intended for local services and infrastructure needs.</p> <p>A 2025 WalletHub study found that <a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/best-worst-states-to-be-a-taxpayer/2416" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois has the highest overall taxes in the U.S.</a>, with rates more than 50% higher than the national average. The study estimates that a median household in Illinois pays an effective tax rate of 16.58%, or about $13,099 per year.</p> <div><strong style="font-size: 18px;">Composition of Sales Tax Revenue in Roselle in August</p> <p> </strong></div> <p><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:a3="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/" viewbox="0 0 600 300" a3:scriptimplementation="Adobe"><defs><filter id="dropshadow" width="1.2" height="1.2"><fegaussianblur stddeviation="4" result="blur"/></filter></defs><rect width="600" height="300" x="0" y="0" class="svgBackground"/><g transform="translate(359.0 20)"><rect x="0" y="0" width="12" height="12" class="key1"/><text x="17" y="12" class="keyText">Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax [52.7%]</text><rect x="0" y="17" width="12" height="12" class="key2"/><text x="17" y="29" class="keyText">Municipal Sales Tax [42.8%]</text><rect x="0" y="34" width="12" height="12" class="key3"/><text x="17" y="46" class="keyText">Tax Revenue <5% [4.4%]</text></g><g transform="translate( 34.5 10 )"><g><path d="M136.5,136.5 L136.5,0.0 A136.5,136.5 0, 1,1, 112.907622576944 270.9457129384499 Z" filter="url(#dropshadow)" style="fill: #ccc; stroke: none;" transform="translate( 10 10 )"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L112.907622576944,270.9457129384499 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 99.22776231055863 5.187280518520282 Z" filter="url(#dropshadow)" style="fill: #ccc; stroke: none;" transform="translate( 10 10 )"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L99.22776231055863,5.187280518520282 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 136.50000000000009 0.0 Z" filter="url(#dropshadow)" style="fill: #ccc; stroke: none;" transform="translate( 10 10 )"/></g><g><path d="M136.5,136.5 L136.5,0.0 A136.5,136.5 0, 1,1, 112.907622576944 270.9457129384499 Z" style="fill: #fff; stroke: none;"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L112.907622576944,270.9457129384499 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 99.22776231055863 5.187280518520282 Z" style="fill: #fff; stroke: none;"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L99.22776231055863,5.187280518520282 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 136.50000000000009 0.0 Z" style="fill: #fff; stroke: none;"/></g><g><path d="M136.5,136.5 L136.5,0.0 A136.5,136.5 0, 1,1, 112.907622576944 270.9457129384499 Z" class="fill1"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L112.907622576944,270.9457129384499 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 99.22776231055863 5.187280518520282 Z" class="fill2"/><path d="M136.5,136.5 L99.22776231055863,5.187280518520282 A136.5,136.5 0, 0,1, 136.50000000000009 0.0 Z" class="fill3"/></g></g></svg></p> <p><strong style="font-size: 18px;">Sales Taxes Collected in Roselle in August</strong></p> <table class="hle"> <thead> <tr> <th>Type of Tax</th> <th>Total Amount Collected</th> <th>% Change From Previous Month</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Municipal Home Rule Sales Tax</td> <td>$596,908</td> <td>29.5%</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Municipal Sales Tax</td> <td>$484,561</td> <td>23.1%</td> </tr> <tr class="last"> <td>Business District Tax</td> <td>$50,241</td> <td>31.2%</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> </p></div> <p><script defer> !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod?
