The county treasurer is warning residents in McHenry County about a tax scam letter being sent out to property owners claiming a lien was filed against them.
The McHenry County Treasurer’s Office said Wednesday they and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office have learned of a tax scam letter being sent out to real estate owners who owe real estate taxes.
The scam letter appears to come from McHenry County but at the bottom in fine print says it is from a company called “Tax Registry LLC.”
There is no known address for the company and only phone numbers.
“Do not be fooled by this mailing, and do not contact this company regarding paying your real estate taxes,” county officials said.
Residents who owe real estate taxes and want to know how to pay them should only contact the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office at 815-334-4260.
