Governance & Public Information
The Park District Code and Municipal Code enables any park district or municipality that is party to a joint agreement to provide “recreational programs for individuals with disabilities.” They may levy and collect annually a tax of not to exceed .04% of the Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) of all taxable property in the district for the purpose of funding the district’s share of the expenses of providing these programs under that joint agreement (see Section 5-8 and 8-10b of the Park District Code and Section 11-95-14 of the Municipal Code).
Approximately 70-75% of a Special Recreation Association’s revenue each year is comprised of the tax contributions of its member park districts and Villages.
The SSSRA Articles of Agreement require member entities to contribute .03% of their EAV each year.
An increase in grant funds received has enabled the association to continue to offer free and discounted programs and special events. Please see the Our Supporters for a list of our generous donors.
