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.
35 ILCS 200/16-135
(35 ILCS 200/16-135)
Sec. 16-135. Omitted property; Notice provisions. In counties with
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the owner of property and the executor,
administrator, or trustee of a decedent whose property has been omitted
in the assessment in any year or years or on which a tax for which the property
was liable has not been paid, and the several taxing bodies interested therein,
shall be given at least 30 days notice in writing by the board of appeals
(until the first Monday in December 1998 and the board of review
beginning the first Monday in December 1998 and thereafter) or
county assessor of the hearing on the proposed assessments of the omitted
property. The board or assessor shall have full power to examine the owner, or
the executor, administrator, trustee, legatee, or heirs of the decedent, or
other person concerning the ownership, kind, character, amount and the value of
the omitted property.
If the board determines that the property of any decedent was omitted
from assessment during any year or years, or that a tax for which
the property was liable, has not been paid, the board shall direct the county
assessor to assess the property. However, if the county assessor, on his or
her own initiative, makes such a determination, then the assessor shall assess
the property. No charge for tax of previous years shall be made against any
property prior to the date of ownership of the person owning the property
at the time the liability for such omitted tax is first ascertained.
Ownership as used in this Section refers to bona fide legal
and equitable titles or interests acquired for value and without notice of
the tax, as may appear by deed, deed of trust, mortgage, certificate of
purchase or sale, or other form of contract. No such charge for tax of previous
years shall be made against any property if: (1) the assessor failed to notify the board of review | | of an omitted assessment in accordance with subsection (a-1) of Section 9-260 of this Code; or
|
|
(2) the property was last assessed as unimproved,
| | the owner of the property, gave notice of subsequent improvements and requested a reassessment as required by Section 9-180, and reassessment of the property was not made within 16 months of receipt of that notice; or
|
| (3) the owner of the property gave notice as required
| | (4) the assessor received a building permit for the
| | property evidencing that new construction had occurred or was occurring on the property but failed to list the improvement on the tax rolls; or
|
| (5) the assessor received a plat map, plat of survey,
| | ALTA survey, mortgage survey, or other similar document containing the omitted property but failed to list the improvement on the tax rolls; or
|
| (6) the assessor received a real estate transfer
| | declaration indicating a sale from an exempt property owner to a non-exempt property owner but failed to list the property on the tax rolls; or
|
| (7) the property was the subject of an assessment
| | appeal before the assessor or the board of review that had included the intended omitted property as part of the assessment appeal and provided evidence of its market value.
|
|
The assessment of omitted property by the county assessor may be reviewed by
the board in the same manner as other assessments are reviewed
under the provisions of this Code and when so reviewed, the assessment shall
not thereafter be subject to review by any succeeding board.
For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Code, relating to
property omitted from assessment, the taxing bodies interested
therein are hereby empowered to employ counsel to appear before the board
or assessor (as the case may be) and take all necessary steps to enforce
the assessment on the omitted property.
