Ford County taxpayers paid $376,568 in Countywide Sales Tax in 2022, according to Illinois tax records.

This figure marks a significant increase from the previous year, where Countywide Sales Tax collection stood at $321,963.

The Countywide Sales Tax, a crucial revenue stream, is primarily allocated for county governments use.
