Following the recent expansion of the Lake County landfill, the county commissioners made minor adjustments to some of the waste fees.  

The adjustments change the commercial hauler rate to $37 per ton and the brush rate to $40 per ton. The unit of measurement for landfill construction and demolition debris was changed from cubic yards to tons.  

Starting in tax year 2026, there will also be an annual Consumer Index Pricing increase that will not exceed 3%. The increase will include all fees associated with solid waste and the annual solid waste fee. The CPI increases will continue for three years, after which they will be re-evaluated, according to the commissioner's proposal.
