You need to get a tax abatement or reassessment. You need to apply for having your taxes reduced based on the current market value.
However here is a link to the IL propertytax
Nothing on Wood Dale but I hope this helps:
Appeals And Protests:
A taxpayer may contest his or her assessment by applying in writing to the County Board of Review [except Cook County] prior to September 1 [August 1 in counties with a population of under 150,000] or later if there is a delay in completing the assessment rolls. The Board can meet according to its needs from the third Monday in June until anywhere from October 7 to December 31 depending on the size of the county. Larger counties have longer hearing time tables that can be further extended by 30 days in quadrennial assessment years. Taxpayers dissatisfied with the decision of the County Board of Review may file, within thirty [30] days of the date of the written notice of the Board decision, for a hearing before the State Property Tax Appeal Board. The petition must be in writing and filed with the clerk of the State Board. The decision of the State Board may be further appealed to the Circuit Court if the appeal is concerned with fraud or equality. The taxpayer also has the alternative of appealing directly from the county board of review to the circuit court.
The Cook County Board of Review commences its meeting by the third Monday in June with the hearing dates being published and the taxpayers being notified. Hearing dates usually commence on or about August 1 and continue until at least 60 days after receipt of the last tax roll. If the taxpayer is not satisfied with the decision of the Cook County Board of Review, an appeal may be filed with the Property Tax Appeals Board or suit can be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Don't you love tax collectors.

@ Mark - Appreciate the offer to help the OP, and understand they didn't provide any real information. However, please refrain from including contact info in your post. This is considered spam on Zillow forums and is not allowed.

If I knew a few more details, I can give you comparable sales that you can use to support a lower assessment when you see your local assessor, or if necessary, the DuPage County Board of Review.
