Where Do My Property Taxes Go?
Your Property Tax Distribution
Lake County has a new online map to see how your individual property taxes are distributed (for any parcel) and how to contact those taxing bodies. Just type in your address, click on the magnifying glass, and click on the property you want to see information on.
Medicare Card Scam
On 4/1/18 Medicare started a yearlong project to replace all current Medicare cards. Currently the ID number is your social security number. The new Medicare card will come to you in the mail. You don't need to request it or do anything. As you might guess, since scammers are opportunistic, they are also already reaching out to seniors.
WHAT'S THE SCAM?
Somebody from "MEDICARE " will call to tell you that you are getting a new Medicare card, but until it comes you will need a temporary card. Fee for the card is between $5-50 dollars they want personal information, bank account or credit card so they can process your temporary card.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Medicare will never call you unless you ask them to. Medicare does all communications by mail unless you ask them to call.
Lock Your Car Doors
Every year we hear that cars in driveways are robbed.
Lock your vehicle every time you leave it unattended and take your valuables with you. Hide your valuables in your trunk, under the seats, in the glove box, or other compartments within the vehicle.
