Frequently asked questions

No. CountyTaxSaver.com is an independent service and is not affiliated with Lake County (or any government office). We use public records to provide an estimate, but the county makes all final decisions.

The free checker does not file anything. If you choose a paid service, we prepare a packet and instructions — you remain the person who submits to the county.

Estimates use the county’s published assessment/EAV fields and the tax rate shown for that year. If data is missing, we mark the result as limited. Estimates are informational only — the county determines the actual outcome.

You can run an estimate for free. If you choose a paid service, you’ll see the exact price and what’s included before payment. No subscriptions or hidden fees.
