** In addition to the Tax Parcel polygons feature class, the hyperlink download above also contains a parcel point data layer **<br /><br />

Parcel boundaries are developed from deeds, plats of subdivision and other legal
documents going back to the mid 1800's, following generally accepted practices
used in Public Land Survey System states, and following guidelines established
by the Illinois Department of Revenue and the International Association of
Assessment Officials. Lake County's parcel coverage is based on resolving the
accumulated evidence of all of the legal documents surrounding a particular
parcel or subdivision, and not the result of a countywide resurvey. These
parcel boundaries are intended to be a visual inventory of property for tax and
other administrative purposes; they are not intended to be used in place of an
on-site survey or for the precise determination of property corners or PLSS
features based on GIS coordinates. In Illinois, only a registered professional
land surveyor is authorized to determine boundary locations.<br /><br />

Included are the tax parcel boundaries,
represented as polygons and centroids, for all changes resulting from legal
records submitted to the Recorder of Deeds up to December 31st of the preceding
year, as well as any court orders, municipal annexations and other transactions
which impact the tax parcel boundaries. <b>NOTE:</b> The ONLY
attribute included is the Property Index Number, or PARCEL_NUM. Additional
assessment attribute data can be downloaded <a href='https://www.lakecountyil.gov/3942/Data-Extract' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>here</a><br /><br />

This parcel layer is used for tax assessment
purposes and for a variety of other local government functions. It changes
often, both spatially and in its attribution, based on divisions or
consolidations, the sale of property and other transactions.<br /><br />

Example: PIN 08-17-304-014 can be interpreted
as follows: Township 08, Section 17, Block 304, Parcel 014. Note that the first
digit of block, &quot;3&quot; in this example, signifies that the parcel lies
in quarter section 3. The quarter sections are labeled from 1 through 4,
representing the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast quarter
sections, respectively.<br /><br />
