How these numbers are made

Property tax uses the Lake County 2025 predominant rate for the Village of Lindenhurst tax code M30LND (1,652 parcels): 10.138248 per $100 of equalized assessed value, entered as with the county's per-agency totals for the agencies serving Lindenhurst. The county publishes no per-agency split for the code, so the last line is the balance of the 10.138248 total (about 1.18 per $100) that we could not assign to a named district; Lake Villa SD 41 and Antioch HSD 117 are assumed for the schools. Other parts of Lindenhurst are in other school districts and pay different rates.
The starting value is one third of the Census-based $294,100 median property value ($98,033), minus the $8,000 homeowner exemption.
Water $6.92 and sewer $6.52 per 100 cubic feet; Capital Fee $4.50 a month and the $60 a year transportation facilities fee shown as $5 a month; bills are bi-monthly. The Village does not publish a base charge on its rates page.
Garbage uses Groot's 95-gallon rate of $27.53 a month on the village utility bill.
Electricity is ComEd delivery rates plus the October 2026-May 2027 price to compare and the state electricity tax; Gas is Nicor Rate 1 plus per-customer Riders 1, 26 and 42, per-therm Riders 3, 5, 12, 30 and 38 and the October 2026 supply cost. Lindenhurst is not listed in ComEd's municipal tax table or Nicor's municipal tax rider, so no municipal tax is added. Homeowners insurance is not included (no official premium survey found).
Village mc2 aggregation program matches the ComEd rate month to month (village page); no Lindenhurst municipal gas tax was found.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
