IMPORTANT CHANGE TO MOBILE HOME PROPERTY TAX LATE PENALTIES
In 2020, Treasurer Holly Kim worked hard with Lake County state representatives to pass HB 925. Under the new law, the penalties for late payment of mobile homes taxes in Lake County are capped at $100 or 50% of the original tax bill - whichever is lower. This assures that going forward, your late penalties will never be higher than your tax bill. It's one way we can care for our mobile homeowners and provide relief in this difficult time.
