ZIP Code 60045

In ZIP code 60045, near Waukegan, homes carry a median value of $923,500, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 2.58% works out to a substantial annual bill. That burden lands on households earning a median of $233,125, with per-capita income at $107,457, so property taxes claim a meaningful share of what people bring in even at these earnings. A combined sales tax rate of 7.00% adds to the cost of daily purchases. High home values paired with this rate keep ownership expensive here, and the tax bill scales directly with what a property is worth.
