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 200/18-170)
    Sec. 18-170. Enterprise zone and River Edge Redevelopment Zone abatement. In addition to the authority to abate taxes under Section 18-165, any taxing district, upon a majority vote of its governing authority, may order the county clerk to abate any portion of its taxes on property, or any class thereof, located within an Enterprise Zone created under the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or a River Edge Redevelopment Zone created under the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act, and upon which either new improvements have been constructed or existing improvements have been renovated or rehabilitated after December 7, 1982. However, any abatement of taxes on any parcel shall not exceed the amount attributable to the construction of the improvements and the renovation or rehabilitation of existing improvements on the parcel. In the case of property within a redevelopment area created under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, the abatement shall not apply unless a business enterprise or individual with regard to new improvements or renovated or rehabilitated improvements has met the requirements of Section 5.4.1 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or under Section 10-5.4.1 of the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act. If an abatement is discontinued under this Section, a municipality shall notify the county clerk and the board of review or board of appeals of the change in writing not later than July 1 of the assessment year to be first affected by the change. However, within a county economic development project area created under the County Economic Development Project Area Property Tax Allocation Act, any municipality or county which has adopted tax increment allocation financing under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act or the County Economic Development Project Area Tax Increment Allocation Act may abate any portion of its taxes as provided in this Section. Any other taxing district within the county economic development project area may order any portion or all of its taxes abated as provided above if the county or municipality which created the tax increment district has agreed, in writing, to the abatement.
    A copy of an abatement order adopted under this Section shall be delivered to the county clerk and to the board of review or board of appeals not later than July 1 of the assessment year to be first affected by the order. If it is delivered on or after that date, it will first affect the taxes extended on the assessment of the following year. The board of review or board of appeals shall, each time the assessment books are delivered to the county clerk, also deliver a list of parcels affected by an abatement and the assessed value attributable to new improvements or to the renovation or rehabilitation of existing improvements.
