The Peoria County treasurer reported to the Ways and Means Committee on Jan. 26 that staff are finalizing the first round of 2026 tax bills, making changes to improve how payment and penalty information is communicated to the public.
The treasurer said the office has stepped up outreach to mobile-home park operators to ensure unit-to-lot assignments are up to date and to ease collection, and that mobile-home tax bills will be mailed March 5. The office also noted that telephone inquiry volume has been low so far but expects more calls as bills issue. The treasurer added the department is preparing for the county audit.
The transcript identifies the treasurer in one place as "Bridal Martin" and, in a subsequent brief remark, as "Brendan." The article uses the combined name shown in the record (Brendan Martin) in the speaker list to reflect the speaker’s self-identification in the meeting.
