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 200/10-740)
Sec. 10-740.

Survey for ground installed commercial solar
energy systems;

parcel identification numbers for property
improved with a ground installed commercial solar energy system.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the owner of the
ground installed commercial solar energy system shall commission
a metes and bounds survey description of the land upon which the
commercial solar energy system is installed, including access
routes, over which the owner of the commercial solar energy
system has exclusive control. The owner of the ground installed
commercial solar energy system shall, at his or her own expense,
use an Illinois-registered land surveyor to prepare the survey.
The owner of the ground installed commercial solar energy system
shall deliver a copy of the survey to the chief county
assessment officer and to the owner of the land upon which the
ground installed commercial solar energy system is constructed. Upon receiving a copy of the survey and an agreed acknowledgement to the separate parcel identification number by the owner of the land upon which the ground installed commercial solar energy system is constructed, the chief county assessment officer shall issue a separate parcel identification for the real property improvements, including the land containing the ground installed commercial solar energy system, to be used only for the purposes of property assessment for taxation. The property records shall contain the legal description of the
commercial solar energy system parcel and describe any leasehold
interest or other interest of the owner of the commercial solar
energy system in the property. A plat prepared under this
Section shall not be construed as a violation of the Plat Act.
