Property tax seminar:

State Rep. Carol Sente is hosting a property tax seminar along with Lake County Board member Aaron Lawlor, Vernon Township Assessor Gary Raupp and Lake County Assessor Martin Paulson. The event is set for Tuesday, Sept. 13, 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Aspen Branch of the Cook Memorial Library at 701 Aspen Drive, Vernon Hills. “With so many families struggling in the midst of this difficult economy, high property taxes only add to that burden,” Sente said. “This seminar will help educate residents on how to appeal their property taxes, answer basic questions and allow them to ask questions directly to the assessors.”
