How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Lake County 2025 rates (percent per $100 of equalized assessed value) summed for the districts serving most Lincolnshire homes: Village of Lincolnshire (0.28), Lincolnshire-Prairie View SD 103, Stevenson HS District 125, Lake County, Forest Preserve, College of Lake County, Vernon Township and Road and Bridge, Vernon Area Public Library, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District. Some parcels are in other districts or a special service area (SSA #1).
The starting value is one third of the Census-based $677,700 median property value ($225,900); the $8,000 homeowner exemption is applied on top.
Water $10.42 and sewer $8.28 per 1,000 gallons (1/1/26 billing period); there is no separate base charge, but a minimum of 4,000 gallons is billed monthly. The storm sewer fee is $6.44 per 2,500 sq. ft. of impervious surface, so a 5,000 sq. ft. household pays $12.88.
Garbage uses LRS's limited 95-gallon cart program ($24.24 a month); other programs are listed.
Electricity is ComEd delivery plus the October 2026-May 2027 price to compare, Lincolnshire's municipal tax (0.552 cents/kWh) and state tax; before the monthly Purchased Electricity Adjustment. Gas is North Shore Gas heating rates (as in nearby Lake County towns) plus Rider FCA for Lincolnshire ($0.79) and the 5.15% municipal utility tax Lincolnshire levies. Homeowners insurance is not included (no official premium survey found).
Typical water use is a modelling assumption, not an official figure.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
