发帖数: 6339 | 1 2016 was a tough year for the owners of 671 Lincoln Ave. The red-brick,
Georgian house in Winnetka, Ill., was made famous by the 1990 Christmas hit,
“Home Alone,” but in real life, it’s not crowbar-wielding burglars
coming for the family’s money, but the Cook County government.
In 2015, the owners of the “Home Alone” house paid over $35,700 in
property taxes, and by 2016, the property taxes on the home had climbed to
more than $36,500. And this was with a homeowners’ exemption, according to
the Cook County Treasurer’s office.
A Freedom of Information Act inquiry made in November 2015 revealed that
almost $750,000 in property taxes have been paid on the Lincoln Avenue home
since the 1990 release of “Home Alone.” Adding the property taxes paid in
2016, the property taxes paid on the “Home Alone” house since 1990 total
more than $782,000 when adjusted for inflation. This amounts to almost half
the value of the home, which sold for $1.585 million in 2012, according to
the Chicago Tribune, and is currently valued at about $1.54 million by the
Cook County assessor’s office.
And the “Home Alone” house owners are not the only ones feeling the pinch.
