County Waives Permit Fees and Reduces Rate for Septic Tank Sewage Disposal for Flooded Properties
In an effort to provide some relief to flood victims, the county board recently approved waiving permit fees and reducing fees for disposing of septic tank waste. Unincorporated area property owners that suffered flood damage will not need to pay Lake County for the permit needed to do repair or restoration work.  The County will conduct an inspection and assess the damage as part of the permit review process.  For questions and to schedule an inspection, contact Lake County Planning, Building & Development at 847-377-2081.

Disaster Area Reassessment Application
Property owners that sustained substantial damage from the flood or whose property is uninhabitable for a period of time as a result of this flood can apply for a reassessment of their property. To apply, the taxpayer must fill out the PTAX- 245, Disaster Area Reassessment application. Applications should be sent to the Chief County Assessment Office. Since local assessors have yet to complete the 2013 assessments, they will conduct inspections on properties that apply. Any changes resulting from this event will then be reflected in the next assessment notice.
