Property owners say their bills doubled or tripled from last year. The average tax bill in Pilsen jumped 46 percent, a greater increase than in any other Chicago neighborhood. 

The neighborhood's alderman wants the state legislature to take action, making it illegal to increase property taxes by more than 25 percent and forcing a moratorium on fees and fines associated with late payments.
