How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Lake County 2025 rates (percent per $100 of equalized assessed value) for tax code 01033, which covers most Beach Park homes: Beach Park School District 3, Zion-Benton High School District 126, Beach Park Fire Protection District, Lake County, Zion-Benton Library, College of Lake County, Forest Preserve, North Shore Water Reclamation District, and Benton Township with its Road and Bridge. They sum to 9.234503, matching the county's predominant Beach Park rate of 9.234504. The Village of Beach Park levies no property tax of its own (its 2025 extension is $0.00). Some Beach Park homes lie in Warren or Newport townships, other school or library districts, or pay SSA charges; those are not included.
The starting value is one third of the Census-based $245,800 median property value ($81,933), minus the $8,000 homeowner exemption.
Water is $8.88 per 1,000 gallons and sewer $2.11 per 1,000 gallons; bills are quarterly. The only fixed charge found is the $3.00 quarterly infrastructure charge from the Village's rate-study notice (a meter charge, treated as $1.00 a month); the current rates page does not restate it, and the rates in that notice ($8.54 and $1.97) are older than the current ones, so the charge may now be higher. Homes without Village sewer are billed differently.
Garbage uses Waste Management's 2026 Village rates (unlimited $27.69 or limited $26.01 a month, billed quarterly). Electricity is ComEd delivery plus the October 2026-May 2027 price to compare; gas is North Shore Gas Rate 1 heating. Homeowners insurance is not included (no official premium survey found).
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
