How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Lake County 2025 rates for the Wauconda Township tax codes in Volo (Wauconda school district 118, Wauconda fire and library, the village, township, road and bridge, county, forest preserve, College of Lake County), which total 7.414339 per $100 of equalized assessed value. Grant Township parts of Volo (Grayslake/Fox Lake districts) have different rates.
Special Service Area (SSA) taxes levied per lot in many Volo subdivisions are not included: they are flat per-lot amounts that differ by subdivision.
Water is the village's $15.45 monthly service fee (stated for a 1-inch meter) plus $5.67 per 1,000 gallons. Garbage is the village's monthly cart rate.
The starting value is one third of the Census-based $319,700 median property value (about the equalized assessed value), minus the $8,000 homeowner exemption; the rates apply to that assessed value.
Sewer is Lake County Public Works' metered General Service Area rate, $7.19 per 1,000 gallons with a 2,000-gallon monthly minimum (FY 2026).
Electricity and gas use the ComEd and Nicor Gas residential tariff rates that apply across their northern Illinois territories, including Volo.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
