Lake Villa Township 2025 Assessments Published

On September 11th the 2025 Assessment Notices, also known as the “Blue Card”, will be mailed to the taxpayers of Lake Villa Township.  It is very important to review the values and contact my office with any questions or concerns as soon as possible.

The deadline to file a formal appeal to the Lake County Board of Review will be October 13th.  After that deadline, my office cannot make changes to the valuation unless there is a factual error such as a data entry error.

Contact the Assessor’s Office
For homeowners who are considering appealing their property assessment, we strongly encourage stopping by your local assessor’s office to assist with the process. We provide services such as evaluating the appeal evidence, and help understanding the difference between valuation and taxation. Some circumstances may allow for allow us to make a change to your assessment without necessitating further appeal.

The grounds for an appeal
– Incorrect Assessor Data (ex. an error in property description)
– Equity (uniformity, ex. similar houses having similar values)
– Fair Cash Value (comparable sales)
– Recent Sale / Purchase

Tax Consultants
Some homeowners choose to go through the appeal process by hiring one of the many for-profit companies to appeal on their behalf. For a fee, these companies can provide the same assistance as your local assessor’s office. It is the decision of the homeowner if they would like to use these companies, however our offices makes every effort to assist homeowners, and encourages (prefers) persons to forgo the costs and do it yourself.
