Have you looked at your assessment to see if it is correct?
|
| The 2015 Fremont Township assessment notices were mailed and published in the Mundelein Review on July 16, 2015. This is a reminder that if you feel your property is incorrectly assessed, you should contact the assessors office with comparable information. The assessor's office sets the value of your property and the taxing bodies set the tax rates. If you need help with the comparable information, the Lake County Assessor's Office is holding outreach sessions. Click here for dates and times. There are two classes available for you before you need to file your appeal. Before filing your appeal, contact the Fremont assessor's office with your evidence. They can be reached at 847 223-2846. If you are not happy with the outcome of your meeting, the FINAL FILING DATE to appeal for Fremont Township properties will be August 17, 2015. Please note that this is the only time you can appeal your assessment. Many people call the assessor's office when the tax bill comes. That is too late. You must appeal the value of your home by August 17, 2015. |
