Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(35 ILCS 200/10-168)

Sec. 10-168.

Valuation of registered land or land encumbered by
conservation rights; application process.

(a) The person liable for taxes on land eligible for assessment under
Section 10-166 must file a verified application requesting the
registered land or conservation rights valuation with the chief county
assessment officer by January 31 of the first year that the valuation is
desired.  If the application is not filed by January 31, the taxpayer waives
the right to claim that valuation for that year.  The application
shall be in the form prescribed by the Department and shall contain information
as may reasonably be required to determine whether the applicant meets the
requirements of Section 10-166.  If the application shows the applicant is
entitled to the valuation, the chief county assessment officer shall approve
it and maintain that valuation until notified as provided in Section 10-169.
Otherwise, the application shall be rejected. The application shall be
accompanied by the certification provided for in Section 10-167, if required.

(b) When the application has been filed with and approved by the chief
county assessment officer, he or she shall determine the valuation of the land
as otherwise permitted by law and as required under Section 10-166, and shall
keep a record of that valuation.
