Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

If, in any year, additions or improvements are made to property subject to
assessment under this Section and the additions or improvements would increase
the assessed value of the property, then 15% of the final assessed value of the
additions or improvements shall be added to the final assessed value of the
property for the year in which the additions or improvements are completed and
for all subsequent years that the property is eligible for assessment under
this Section.

value after final board of review action.
