User Fee
Background
The stormwater user fees are used for several different purposes. The fees will be the revenue source for the Stormwater Management Program aimed at improving the Town through:
- Development of storm drainage infrastructure
- Improvement of flood protection and limiting flood damage
- Enhancement of Cedar Lake’s water quality by limiting pollutants from entering waterways
- Protection of the aquatic ecosystem of Cedar Lake
- Prevention of the damage to the roads and streets from stormwater
- Improvement of existing stormwater systems and structures
Consolidation
In Cedar Lake, many residents have multiple adjacent parcels that make up their property. Each parcel will have its own identifying tax key number. We must bill the owner for each parcel; however, you may have these parcels consolidated into one single tax key number to reduce your stormwater drainage fee.
For additional Information about Consolidating Lots, click here to view our informational brochure on lot consolidation.
To consolidate lots, property owners must fill out a Combination Request at the County Auditor’s Office. The form must be submitted to the Lake County Auditor’s Office located at:

Crown Point, Indiana 46307
