| 1 |
| taxes in the special service
area prior to the date the levy | 2 |
| must be filed with the county clerk, for the
same year in which | 3 |
| the ordinance and map are filed with the county clerk. In
| 4 |
| addition, the corporate authorities shall file a certified copy | 5 |
| of each
ordinance levying taxes in the special service area on | 6 |

Tuesday of December of each year and shall | 7 |

ordinance authorizing the issuance | 8 |

| In lieu of or in addition to an ad valorem property tax, a | 11 |
| special tax may be
levied and extended within the special | 12 |
| service area on any other basis that
provides a rational | 13 |
| relationship between the amount of the tax levied against
each | 14 |
| lot, block, tract and parcel of land in the special service | 15 |
| area and the
special service benefit rendered. In that case, a | 16 |
| special tax roll shall be
prepared containing: (a) a | 17 |
| description of the special services to be provided, (b) an | 18 |
| explanation of the method of spreading the special
tax, (c)
a | 19 |
| list of lots, blocks, tracts and parcels of land in the special
| 20 |
| service area,
and (d) the amount assessed against each. The | 21 |
| special tax roll
shall be included in the ordinance | 22 |
| establishing the special service area or in
an amendment of the | 23 |
| ordinance, and shall be filed with the county clerk for use
in | 24 |
| extending the tax. The lien and foreclosure remedies provided | 25 |
| in Article 9
of the Illinois Municipal Code shall apply upon | 26 |
| non-payment of the special tax. |

LRB096 19617 HLH 38265 a |
|
| 1 |
| As an alternative to an ad valorem tax based on the whole | 2 |
| equalized assessed value of the property, the corporate | 3 |
| authorities may provide for the ad valorem tax to be extended | 4 |
| solely upon the equalized assessed value of the land in a | 5 |
| special service area, without regard to improvements, if the | 6 |
| equalized assessed value of the land in the special service | 7 |
| area is at least 75% of the total of the whole equalized | 8 |
| assessed value of property within the special service area at | 9 |
| the time that it was established. If the corporate authorities | 10 |
| choose to provide for this method of taxation on the land value | 11 |
| only, then each notice given in connection with the special | 12 |
| service area must include a statement in substantially the | 13 |
| following form: "The taxes to be extended shall be upon the | 14 |
| equalized assessed value of the land in the proposed special | 15 |
| service area, without regard to improvements.
Section 10-30 of | 16 |
| this Code does not apply to any property that is part of a | 17 |
| special service area created under this paragraph, namely, | 18 |
| property for which the ad valorem taxes are extended solely | 19 |
| upon the equalized assessed value of the land in the special | 20 |
| service area, without regard to improvements.
