Property Tax Redemption
If the taxes due on a parcel of land are not paid by the statutory deadline, they become delinquent. The County Clerk is responsible for receiving payment of all delinquent taxes. Each December the County Treasurer conducts a sale of the taxes past due and remaining unpaid for property in Lake County. For information on pay-out amounts on sold delinquent taxes call 847.377.2404.
When taxes become delinquent, property owners do not immediately lose their ownership of the property. Property owners residing on the property have two and a half years in which to redeem their property and protect their interest.
