Beware of Fake Treasurer’s Website

Kane County is warning the public of fake website that claims to be the Kane County Treasurer’s site. The fake site has a misspelled address as well as multiple links to access legal records, court documents, vehicle registration renewal and for online payments. The authentic Kane County Treasurer’s site, www.kanecountytreasurer.org, has Kane County Treasurer Chris Lauzen pictured in the upper left. In addition, the tab to make an online payment has the Kane County seal in the upper left, the treasurer’s office address and telephone number in the upper right, and users must click on a terms of use agreement before they can search for their tax bill or make a payment. Anyone with information about the fake site should call the Kane County Sheriff’s Office at (630) 444-1103.
