How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Lake County 2025 rates (percent per $100 of equalized assessed value) for predominant tax code M16HWO (1,644 parcels, 7.431974): village, Lake Zurich CUSD 95, Ela Area Public Library, Lake County, Forest Preserve, College of Lake County, Ela Township and Lake Zurich Rural Fire Protection District. These sum to 7.431974. Parts of the village in other school, library or fire districts, or in Hawthorn Woods SSA #4, pay different amounts.
The starting value is one third of the Census-based $619,100 median property value ($206,367), minus the $8,000 homeowner exemption.
Water and sewer are Aqua Illinois (Hawthorn Woods Division) rates effective December 5, 2024: water is the $22.00 5/8 inch meter charge plus $7.15 public fire protection charge and usage tiers per 100 cubic feet; sewer is the collection-and-treatment charge of $52.25 a month plus $8.1180 per 100 cubic feet above 133.68 cubic feet. Aqua filed higher rates for July 10, 2026 (Docket 26-0495); that sheet is marked suspended and is not used. Lake County Public Works serves some Hawthorn Woods neighbourhoods (Glennshire, Forest Lake) and many homes are on septic, which this page does not cover. The tariff also allows a 3% village franchise charge on sewer service, not added here.
Garbage uses Waste Management at $31.00 a month (village rates effective March 1, 2026).
Electricity is ComEd delivery rates plus the October 2026-May 2027 price to compare, with the Hawthorn Woods municipal tax and state tax; gas is Nicor Rate 1 plus riders and October 2026 supply cost and the Hawthorn Woods 5.15% municipal tax. Homeowners insurance is not included (no official premium survey found).
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
