Understanding Your Property Assessment

Since we have all been getting our blue cards recently with our new assessed valuation of our homes on it in the last few days I think its appropriate to run this post from information I received from the Lake County Assessor's office.

The Chief County Assessment Office of Lake County will hold two public information meetings and have fifteen fifteen tax assessment centers this fall to help residents understand their property assessment.

Public Information Meetings: The Chief County Assessment Officer will explain assessment procedures, provides the recommended steps to review a tax assessment, outline the assessment appeal process, and answer questions from residential property owners.

• Saturday, October 25 at 9:00 a.m. – College of Lake County
• Saturday, November 8 at 9:00 a.m. – College of Lake County (Grayslake Campus, Building C – Auditorium)

Tax Assessment Help Centers: Residents will work one on one with a member of the Chief County Assessment Office staff for personal assistance with evaluating their property tax assessment.

The county provides valuable web applications to the public, which will be utilized during these sessions, at three convenient locations. Dates, times and locations for the help centers can be found in the attached flyer.
