The 2010 Lake County tax bill will be mailed the first week of May, with the first installment due date set for June 6th and the second installment due date set for September 6th.
For a better understanding of the tax bills and how the amounts are set, please take a few minutes to review the links below. Those homeowners that may have fallen behind on their property tax payments should pay close attention to the Delinquent Tax brochure.

| Tax Appeals |
Once the homeowners receive their tax bills, the most frequently asked question is, "am I to late to appeal my taxes". The answer to that is basically yes, the appeals should have been filed with the Board of Review 30 days from the date the assessment rolls were published. The current tax year brought more then 17,000 appeals to the Board of Review. That being said, it's extremely important that you pay close attention to your total exemptions on the bill; these exemptions could lower the current tax bill. For a complete list of exemptions, view Property Tax Relief. |
| Payment Options |
| Payment options again include payment via U.S. Mail, in person at most Lake County Banks and at the Lake County Treasurer's Office, 18 N. County Street, Room 102, Waukegan. Customers paying in person must bring the original or a copy of the tax bill (available online) with them at the time of payment. |
| Partial Payments |
| Partial payments will again be accepted once the bills have been released in the mail, with the understanding that after each of the due dates, the remaining balances could be subject to additional penalty. All payments must be received and posted by 5:00 pm on November 23rd to avoid the annual tax sale.
