JOLIET, IL – September 20, 2024. As we continue our Hispanic Heritage Spotlight series, we are celebrating Fatima Silva for Hispanic Heritage Month and her impact at Joliet Township Givernment.
Fatima A. Silva works as a Commercial Deputy for the Joliet Township Assessor’s Office. Prior to this role, Fatima began her assessing career in 2016 with the DuPage Township Assessor’s Office in Bolingbrook, where she served as a part-time bilingual English/Spanish Residential Clerk and Property Tax Exemption Specialist.
Her commitment to serving and communicating with taxpayers in their own language led her to earn the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer (CIAO) Certificate. Over the course of eight years at DuPage Township, Fatima gained significant experience, which contributed to her progression to Commercial Deputy.
Her goal is to develop fair and equitable assessments for commercial and industrial properties and serve the residents of Joliet Township. Outside of work, Fatima enjoys spending time with her family and three dogs.
