| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning revenue.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing | ||||
Section 31-15 as follows:
| ||||
(35 ILCS 200/31-15)
| ||||
Sec. 31-15. Collection of tax. The tax shall be collected | ||||
by the recorder
or registrar of titles of the county in which | ||||
the property is situated through the sale of revenue
stamps, | ||||
the design, denominations and form of which shall be prescribed | ||||
by the
Department. If requested by the recorder or registrar of | ||||
titles of a county
that has imposed a county real estate | ||||
transfer tax under Section 5-1031 of the
Counties Code, the | ||||
Department shall design the stamps furnished to that county
| ||||
under this Section so that the same stamp also provides | ||||
evidence of the payment
of the county real estate transfer tax | ||||
and shall include in the design of the
stamp the name of the | ||||
county and an indication that the stamp is evidence of
the | ||||
payment of both State and county real estate transfer taxes. | ||||
The revenue
stamps shall be sold by the Department to the | ||||
recorder or registrar
of titles who shall cause them to be sold | ||||
for the purposes prescribed.
The Department shall charge at a | ||||
rate of 50¢ per $500 of value in
units of not less than $500. | ||||
The recorder or registrar of titles of the several
counties | ||||
shall sell the revenue stamps at a rate of 50¢ per $500 of
| ||||
value or fraction of $500. The recorder or registrar of titles | ||||
may use the
proceeds for the purchase of revenue stamps from | ||||
the Department. The Department must establish a system to allow | ||||
the recorder or registrar
of titles to purchase the revenue | ||||
stamps electronically and must deliver the electronically | ||||
purchased stamps to the recorder or registrar
of titles.
