10rental housing construction or rehabilitation.
11    (a) The General Assembly finds that there is a shortage of
12high quality affordable rental homes for low-income and
13very-low-income households throughout Illinois; that owners
14and developers of rental housing face significant challenges
15building newly constructed apartments or undertaking
16rehabilitation of existing properties that results in rents
17that are affordable for low-income and very-low-income
18households; and that it will help Cook County and other parts
19of Illinois address the extreme shortage of affordable rental
20housing by developing a Statewide policy to determine the
21assessed value for newly constructed and rehabilitated
22affordable rental housing that both encourages investment and
23incentivizes property owners to keep rents affordable.
24    (b) Each chief county assessment officer shall implement

 

 

SB0330- 3 -LRB102 10204 HLH 15527 b

6improvements to existing residential real property are put in
7service. Any county with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants may
8decide not to implement this special assessment program upon
9passage of an ordinance by a majority vote of the county board.
10Subsequent to a vote to opt-out of this special assessment
11program, any county with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants may
12decide to implement this special assessment program upon

21    resulting in 7 or more rental dwelling units; and
22        (2) the property meets the application requirements
23    defined in subsection (f).

25special assessment program and do not opt-out of such special
