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 200/15-25)

Sec. 15-25. Removal of exemptions.

If the Department determines that any
property has been unlawfully exempted from taxation, or is no longer entitled
to exemption, the Department shall, before January 1 of any year, direct the
chief county assessment officer to assess the property and return it to the
assessment rolls for the next assessment year.  The Department shall give
notice of its decision to the owner of the property by certified mail. The
decision shall be subject to review and hearing under Section 8-35, upon
application by the owner filed within 60 days after the notice of
decision is
mailed.  However, the extension of taxes on the assessment shall not be delayed
by any proceedings under this Section.  If the property is determined to be
exempt, any taxes extended upon the assessment shall be abated or, if already
paid, be refunded.
