The DLGF (Department of Local Government Finance) gave approval to Lake County's property tax rates last Friday giving the go-ahead for county officials to begin calculating reconciliation tax bills for property owners.
Lake County Auditor Peggy Holinga-Katona says her office can begin figuring out the final tax bills which will be mailed out in January with payment due 15 days later.
Provisional bills were sent out earlier in October and contained half the tax relief enacted by state legislators. The other half of tax relief will be included in the January reconciliation bill.
Katona also said homeowners will be able to go to the county treasurer's website by the week of Thanksgiving to find out what they owe.
