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 200/16-140)
Sec. 16-140. Omitted property. In counties with 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, 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)
in any year shall direct the county assessor,
in accordance with Section 16-135, when he or she fails to do so on his or her
own initiative, to assess all property which has not been assessed, for any
reason, and enter the same upon the assessment books and to list and assess all
property that has been omitted in the assessment for the current year and not more
than 3 years prior to the current year. If the
tax for which that property was liable has not been paid or if any property,
by reason of defective description or assessment thereof, fails to pay taxes
for any year or years, the property, when discovered by the board shall be
listed and assessed by the county assessor. The board may order the county
assessor to make such alterations in the description of property as it deems
necessary. No 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 board shall hear complaints and revise assessments of any
particular parcel of property of any person identified and described in a
complaint filed with the board and conforming to the requirements of Section
16-115. The board shall make revisions in no other cases.
