Understanding Your Tax Bill

How is my ax bill calculated?

Each taxing body in a county sets their own tax rate. The County Clerk must then add up the rates which apply to particular areas in the county. Different parts of the county are under jurisdiction of different combinations of taxing districts. The County Clerk divides the county into tax code areas, in which all property is subject to the jurisdiction of the same combination of taxing units and thus has the same combination of tax rates. Aggregate rates are computed for each code area. A tax bill is calculated by multiplying the equalized assessed value of a property (less any homestead exemptions) by the aggregate rate for the tax code area in which the property lies.

The aggregate rate seen on a bill will be a combination of a county rate, a township rate, a school district, a municipality rate (if a taxpayer lives within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality), and rates for any special districts, such as fire, sanitary, library, etc., which service the area. In Illinois, the rate is generally expressed in terms of dollars per hundred dollars of equalized assessed valuation (the same as a percent).

Soil and Water Conservation District of Lake County Rain - Rain Barrels For Sale

The Soil and Water Conservation District of Lake County is selling 55 gallon rain barrels. Compost bins are available too. For prices and ordering information, visit LakeSWCD.org or call 847-223-1056.

Use your rain barrel to collect and store rain water from your roof that would otherwise be diverted to gutters and your lawn. Save this rainwater and use it for household needs such as watering your lawn, cleaning windows, washing your car, or even washing your hair. By using a rain barrel, you have an instant source of naturally softened water that is chlorine-free, calcium-free, and lime-free.

How much water can you save? One inch of rain on a 1,000-square-foot roof yields 632 gallons of water. Calculate the entire yield of your roof by multiplying the square footage of your roof by 623 and divide by 1000. This saved water makes a difference towards cleaner lakes, streams and rivers.

Start cleaning out those garages and basements! Lakemoor's annual Village-wide garage sale is scheduled for Friday, May 16 through Sunday, June 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents who would like to host a garage sale can register at Village Hall or .Email: villagehall@lakemoor.net Call: 815-385-1117
