1     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 Sections 18-135 and 18-185 as follows:
 
6     (35 ILCS 200/18-135)
7     Sec. 18-135. Taxing district in 2 or more counties.
8     (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary,
9 in counties which have an overlapping taxing district or
10 districts that extend into one or more other counties, the
11 county clerk, upon receipt of the assessments from the Board of
12 Review or Board of Appeals, and of the equalization factor from
13 the Department, may use estimated valuations or estimated
14 rates, as provided in subsection (b) of this Section, for the
15 overlapping taxing district or districts if the county clerk in
16 any other county into which the overlapping taxing district or
17 districts extend cannot certify the actual valuations or rates
18 for the district or districts.
19     (b) If the county clerk of a county which has an
20 overlapping taxing district which extends into another county
21 has not received the certified valuations or rates from the
22 county clerk of any county into which such districts overlap,
23 he or she may subsequent to March 15, make written demand for

 

 

HB0576 Enrolled - 2 - LRB095 03633 BDD 23656 b

1 actual or estimated valuations or rates upon the county clerk
2 of that county. Within 10 days of receiving a written demand,
3 the county clerk receiving the demand shall furnish certified
4 or estimated valuations or rates for the overlapping taxing
5 district, as pertaining to his or her county, to the county
6 clerk who made the request. If no valuations or rates are
7 received, the requesting county may make the estimate.
8     (c) If the use of estimated valuations or rates results in
9 over or under extension for the overlapping taxing district in
10 the county using estimated valuations or rates, the county
11 clerk shall make appropriate adjustments in the subsequent
12 year. Any adjustments necessitated by the estimation procedure
13 authorized by this Section shall be made by increasing or
14 decreasing the tax extension by fund for each taxing district
15 where the estimation procedures were used.
16     (d) For taxing districts subject to the Property Tax
17 Extension Limitation Law, the adjustment for paragraph (c)
18 shall be made after the limiting rate has been calculated using
19 the aggregate extension base, as defined in Section 18-185,
20 adjusted for the over or under extension due to the use of an
21 estimated valuation by the county on the last preceding
22 aggregate extension.

20 only each non-home rule taxing district subject to this Law
21 before the 1995 levy year and each non-home rule taxing
22 district not subject to this Law before the 1995 levy year
23 having the majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value in an
24 affected county or counties. Beginning with the levy year in
25 which this Law becomes applicable to a taxing district as
26 provided in Section 18-213, "taxing district" also includes

22 Allocation Act, of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
23 real property in the redevelopment project area over and above
24 the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the

1 rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
2 preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
3 plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
4 denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
5 value of all real property in the territory under the
6 jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
7 For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
8 extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
9 aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
10 shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
11 The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
12 tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
13 limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
14 after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
15 limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
16 or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
17 case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
18 the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
19 proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
20 specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
21 the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
