Dr. Raoul Contreras says he's lived in Little Village for 25 years and was shocked by his tax bill, so he did something about it.

"I had no idea about the exemptions. Two months ago, I went in and filed myself and picked up a couple of thousand dollars because they take it back. And so that's one of the things we want to do on Saturday is warn people that these exemptions are here and they can get them and how to get them," said Contreras.

The Little Village-Pilsen Coalition will host the property tax workshop from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Universidad Popular, located at 2801 South Hamlin Avenue.
