The City’s Municipal Electrical Aggregate will end in December, 2025. During this year’s bidding process, the City was unable to secure through the aggregate process a lower rate than Ameren. Residents on the City’s aggregate will automatically return to Ameren at a lower rate.  You still have the option to choose an electrical supplier other than Ameren, within two months, although Ameren will remain your provider.

Annual tax levies

Each year, the City levy's for property tax revenues based upon the value of all property within Effingham, or the equalized assessed value (EAV).  These levied revenues are essential to funding city services and other funding categories as required by state statute.  For more information, see state statutes 65 ILCS 8-3-1 and 35 ILCS 200/18-55.
