| AN ACT concerning revenue.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing |
| 5 |
| Section 16-70 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (35 ILCS 200/16-70)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 16-70. Determination of exemptions. The board of |
| 8 |
| review shall hear and
determine the application of any person |
| 9 |
| who is assessed on property claimed to
be exempt from taxation. |
| 10 |
| However, the decision of the board shall not be
final, except |
| 11 |
| as to homestead exemptions. Upon filing of any application for |
| 12 |
| a
non-homestead exemption which would reduce the assessed |
| 13 |
| valuation of any
property by more than $100,000, the owner |
| 14 |
| shall deliver, in person or by mail,
a copy of the application |
| 15 |
| to any municipality, school district,
and community
college |
| 16 |
| district, and fire protection district in which the property is |
| 17 |
| situated. Failure of a
municipality, school district,
or |
| 18 |
| community college district, or fire protection district to |
| 19 |
| receive the
notice shall not invalidate any exemption. The |
| 20 |
| board shall give the
municipalities, school districts,
and |
| 21 |
| community college districts, fire protection districts, and |
| 22 |
| the
taxpayer an opportunity to be heard. The clerk of the board |
| 23 |
| in all cases other
than homestead exemptions, under the |
| 24 |
| direction of the board, shall make out and
forward to the |
| 25 |
| Department, a full and complete statement of all the facts in
|
| 26 |
| the case. The Department shall determine whether the property |
| 27 |
| is legally liable
to taxation. It shall notify the board of |
| 28 |
| review of its decision, and
the board shall correct the |
| 29 |
| assessment if necessary. The decision of the
Department is |
| 30 |
| subject to review under Sections 8-35 and 8-40. The extension |
| 31 |
| of
taxes on any assessment shall not be delayed by any |
| 32 |
| proceedings under this
Section, and, if the Department rules |
