 1        AN ACT to amend the Property Tax Code by changing Section

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by  changing
 6    Section 15-10 as follows:
 7        (35 ILCS 200/15-10)
 8        Sec.    15-10.     Exempt    property;   procedures   for
 9    certification.   All  property  described  in  the   Sections
10    following  Section  15-30  and preceding Section 16-5, to the
11    extent therein limited, is exempt from taxation. However,  it
12    is the duty of the titleholder or the owner of the beneficial
13    interest  of  any  property  that  is exempt, except property
14    exempted under Section 15-45 (burial grounds) in counties  of
15    less than 3,000,000 inhabitants and owned by a not-for-profit
16    organization,  exempted  under  Section  15-50 (United States
17    property), and except as is otherwise  provided  in  Sections
18    15-170  and  15-175  (senior and general homesteads), to file
19    with the  chief  county  assessment  officer,  on  or  before
20    January  31  of  each  year  (May  31 in the case of property
21    exempted by Section 15-170),  an  affidavit  stating  whether
22    there  has  been  any  change  in the ownership or use of the
23    property or the status  of  the  owner-resident,  or  that  a
24    disabled veteran who qualifies under Section 15-165 owned and
25    used  the  property as of January 1 of that year. In counties
26    of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the  titleholder  or  the
27    owner  of  the  beneficial  interest  of  property owned by a
28    not-for-profit organization and exempt under Section 15-45 is
29    not required to file an affidavit  after  January  31,  1998.
30    The  nature  of  any change shall be stated in the affidavit.
31    Failure to file an affidavit shall, in the discretion of  the
SB1094 Enrolled             -2-                LRB9002118KDks
 1    assessment   officer,   constitute  cause  to  terminate  the
 2    exemption  of  that  property,  notwithstanding   any   other
 3    provision  of  this  Code.    Owners of 5 or more such exempt
 4    parcels within a county may file a single annual affidavit in
 5    lieu  of  an  affidavit  for  each  parcel.   The  assessment
 6    officer, upon request, shall furnish an affidavit form to the
 7    owners, in which the owner may state whether there  has  been
 8    any  change in the ownership or use of the property or status
 9    of the owner or resident as of January 1 of  that  year.  The
10    owner  of  5  or  more  exempt  parcels  shall  list  all the
11    properties giving the same information  for  each  parcel  as
12    required of owners who file individual affidavits.
