HB2530- 17 -LRB099 06686 SXM 26760 b

1the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
2Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
3means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
4of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
5removed from the redevelopment project area over and above the
6initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
7removal from the redevelopment project area.
8    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
9rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
10preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
11plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
12denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
13value of all real property in the territory under the
14jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
15For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
16extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
17aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
18shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
19The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
20tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
21limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
22after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
23limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
24or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
25case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
26the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the

 

 

HB2530- 18 -LRB099 06686 SXM 26760 b

1proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
2specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
3the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
4In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
5approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
6limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
7generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
8that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
9voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
10clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
11tax year 2012. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if
12the percentage change in the equalized assessed value of all
13property within the taxing district during the 12-month
14calendar year preceding the levy year is less than the
15percentage change in the Consumer Price Index during that same
16period of time, then, not less than 30 days prior to extension,
17the corporate authorities of the taxing district must approve
18the limiting rate by ordinance or resolution, and must certify
19that limiting rate to the county clerk. The limiting rate may
20not exceed the maximum rate permitted under this Law. Notice of
21the rate shall be published at least once in a newspaper of
22general circulation in the taxing district not more than 30
23days nor less than 10 days before the ordinance or resolution
24is adopted. The publication must also contain all of the
25following information, in substantially the following form:
26        (1) As a result of the approval of the limiting rate,

 

 

HB2530- 19 -LRB099 06686 SXM 26760 b

1    the aggregate extension for ... (insert each levy year for
2    which the increase will apply) will be determined by the
3    limiting rate set forth in the ordinance or resolution,
4    rather than the otherwise applicable limiting rate
5    calculated under the provisions of the Property Tax
6    Extension Limitation Law (commonly known as the Property
7    Tax Cap Law). This will result in a tax bill that will be
8    higher than the tax bill that would have resulted from the
9    rate that would have been calculated under the Property Tax
10    Extension Limitation Law.
11        (2) The additional tax extendable against property
12    containing a single family residence and having a fair
13    market value at the time of the referendum of $100,000 is
14    estimated to be $....
15        (3) Based upon an average annual percentage increase
16    (or decrease) in the market value of such property of %...
17    (insert percentage equal to the average annual percentage
18    increase or decrease for the prior 3 levy years, at the
19    time the submission of the proposition is initiated by the
20    taxing district, in the amount of (A) the equalized
21    assessed value of the taxable property in the taxing
22    district less (B) the new property included in the
23    equalized assessed value), the approximate amount of the
24    additional tax extendable against such property for the ...
25    levy year is estimated to be $... and for the ... levy year
26    is estimated to be $ ....
