About CountyTaxSaver.com

CountyTaxSaver.com was created to help Illinois homeowners avoid overpaying their property taxes. Many homes in Lake County are missing basic exemptions—especially the General Homestead Exemption—which can reduce property taxes by hundreds of dollars per year.

Most homeowners don’t realize an exemption is missing until years later, after they have already overpaid. And while county websites provide access to assessment data, the information can be difficult to interpret, and it’s not always obvious whether a homeowner qualifies or whether a correction is needed.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: make county tax records easier to understand so homeowners know when they’ve been overbilled—and what they can do about it.

What We Do

We use publicly accessible assessment information from Lake County to generate preliminary savings estimates. These estimates are for informational purposes only—we do not provide legal or tax advice and we are not affiliated with any county government.

Why We Built This

County tax systems are complex, and homeowners often pay more than they should. Missing exemptions, clerical errors, or outdated property information can easily go unnoticed. Our founder built this service after seeing how many residents in his own community were overpaying simply due to missing exemptions.

CountyTaxSaver.com was built to shine a light on these issues and help homeowners take action confidently—not by replacing county processes, but by making them easier to navigate.

Who We Serve

If you believe your exemption or assessment may be incorrect, we’re here to help you understand your options and take the next steps.
