MENTOR, Ohio — It's not just mortgages and rent breaking the bank these days. News 5 has been following the struggle of many families after being slapped with rising property tax bills.
The Lake County Council on Aging and Lake County Treasurer's Office receives many calls about taxes, especially about rising taxes. The Lake County Treasurer's Office created a new 12-month prepay budget plan to help folks keep up with their property taxes and avoid a tax bomb. "Next year in Lake County and multiple surrounding counties, the valuations are going to be re-assessed by the auditors and there will most likely be a tax increase. We don't know what that will be," said Michael Zuren, Lake County Treasurer."I know they do the valuations. I get the things in the mail that they're talking about and I look through it to see if there's any way I can save or anything," said Andy Rattray from Willoughby.
Folks also learned more about credit scores, identity theft, and other budgeting programs they might not have known about.
