Property Taxes Second Installment Due Sept. 6

The second installment of Lake County property taxes is due Tuesday, Sept. 6.

A second bill will not be mailed to homeowners. Per Illinois Statute, any payment received after the due date must include a 1.5 percent monthly penalty.

Options for payment include:

• Mail to 18 N. County St., Waukegan, IL, 60085.
• Pay online by credit card or e-check. A processing fee will be charged by the processing company.
• Pay at most Lake County banks. Bring the original bill or a copy of the bill.
• Pay at a “Collectors Drop Box.” There is a Waukegan Drop Box at 18 N. County St. and a Libertyville Drop Box at the Libertyville campus, off Winchester Road, a half block west of Milwaukee Ave.

"The Treasurer's Office typically experiences long lines close to the property tax due date so I encourage taxpayers to take advantage of one of the alternative payment methods," said Lake County Treasurer Robert Skidmore. "Payments must be made or postmarked before Sept. 6 in order to avoid paying penalties." 

Office hours:

Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Due Date, Sept. 6, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
