Residents vs. Non-Residents
It’s sometimes difficult to figure out if you’re considered a park district resident or non-resident. Generally speaking, if your house address has four digits and you live within the incorporated village boundaries of Round Lake, Round Lake Beach, Round Lake Park and Round Lake Heights, you are a resident of the Round Lake Area Park District. If you live in Hainesville west of Hainesville Road, you are also a Round Lake Area Park District resident.

There are also portions of unincorporated areas of Round Lake that are within the park district and boundaries. An example of this is the Prairie Pointe subdivision in Round Lake. This entire subdivision, although almost totally surrounded by the park district residents, is not in the park district. Conversely, some persons who live on Nippersink Road in unincorporated Round Lake are park district residents.

If you are unsure if you are a district resident check your voter’s registration card which identifies all the taxing districts you live in, or check the Lake County’s web site, co.lake.il.us/mapsonline. This site will allow you to see, by your home address, what taxing districts you live in. Or, if all else fails, call us!
