Tax sale and mobile home tax clearance

Parcels with a balance due for taxes and special assessments from the prior year’s Spring installment are eligible for Treasurer’s Tax Sale. The county describes additional deadlines, notices, publication steps, and sale procedures for delinquent properties.

Lake County’s Tax Sale is usually scheduled between July 1 and March 1 in the Auditorium of the Lake County Government Center. Minimum acceptable bid is the amount owed on the parcel through the current year of the sale date.

For mobile home title transfers and moving permits, the Treasurer’s Office requires a mobile home tax clearance form. After January 15 each year, all taxes, including current-year taxes, must be paid in full before tax clearance will be issued.
