Attention seniors!
Receive assistance filling out the 2018 Senior Citizen Assessment Freeze
Application at an upcoming outreach session. The first session will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. tomorrow (March 20) at the Foss Park District Community Center in North Chicago. View All Upcoming Outreach Sessions and Qualifications.
The Senior Freeze
provides eligible seniors (based on income levels) protection against real
estate tax increases due to rising property values as this exemption “freezes”
your home’s equalized assessed value at a base year value. The base year
is generally the year before you first qualify and apply for the exemption. For
example, if you first qualify and apply in 2018, your property’s equalized
assessed value will be “frozen” at the 2017 equalized assessed value. Please
note that this exemption is not a tax freeze or a tax reduction and does not
protect against increased taxes due to tax rate increases.
Fast-track permitting, regional 911 consolidation, and bond
refinancing are examples of recent Lake County Board actions that demonstrate
the Board's continued commitment to delivering exceptional, financially
sustainable services. Learn more in this five-minute
County Board Wrap-Up video.
