Village of Downers Grove Report for the Village Council Meeting
The Village Council is considering the establishment of Special Service Area (SSA) #14 for the Talon Preserve Subdivision. This SSA would serve as a safeguard to maintain the subdivision's common detention areas if the homeowners' association fails to do so. The SSA would allow the Village to levy a special tax on property owners for the maintenance of common areas, with a proposed maximum annual rate not exceeding 3% of the property's equalized Assessed Value (EAV). A public hearing is scheduled to consider the creation of the SSA, and notices will be published and mailed to property owners within the proposed area.
