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.

Sec. 20-27. Reimbursement of tax proceeds for annexed property.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning in taxable year 2010, if property is annexed to a municipality under Section 7-1-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code at any time during the taxable year, any taxpayer who  is liable for paying property taxes on the property during the taxable year may apply to the municipality for a refund of the amount of property taxes (i)  paid by the taxpayer, (ii) distributed to the municipality, and (ii) attributable to the annexed property for the portion of the taxable year during which the property was not included in the municipality.  The municipality shall refund those amounts to the taxpayer within 60 days after the application is received.

A home rule unit may not regulate the collection or distribution of tax proceeds in a manner inconsistent with this Section.  This
subsection is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of
the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of
powers and functions exercised by the State.
