(35 ILCS 200/8-40)
Sec. 8-40.
Applicability of Administrative Review Law.
The circuit court for
the county in which a property assessed, or some part of such property, is
situated may review all final administrative decisions of the Department in
administering this Code. The Administrative Review Law and the rules adopted
under it apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final
administrative decisions of the Department under Section 8-35. The term
"administrative decision" is defined as in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, and includes assessment ratios and percentages for equalization of
assessments determined by the Department under Sections 17-5 through 17-30. Any
review of assessment ratios and percentages for equalization of assessments
under the Administrative Review Law shall not delay the computation,
mailing or payment of tax bills. If a final court decision holding the
Department's ratios or percentages in error comes after the mailing of the
tax bills, an adjustment shall be made on all bills in the assessment district
in the first tax billing following the decision to credit taxpayers with
any payments which may have exceeded the maximum tax rate in rate-limited
levies of non-home rule taxing units. Service upon the Director or the
Assistant Director of the Department of summons issued in an action to review a
final administrative decision of the Department shall be service upon the
Department.
Appeals from all final orders and judgments entered by the circuit
court upon review of the Department's determination in any case shall be
taken as in other civil cases.
