| Public Act 096-0490 |
||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 21-30 as follows:
| ||||
(35 ILCS 200/21-30)
| ||||
Sec. 21-30. Accelerated billing. Except as provided in this | ||||
Section, Section 9-260, and Section 21-40, in
counties with
| ||||
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, by January 31 annually, | ||||
estimated tax bills
setting out the first installment of | ||||
property taxes for the preceding year,
payable in that year, | ||||
shall be prepared and mailed. The first installment of
taxes on | ||||
the estimated tax bills shall be computed at (i) 50% of the | ||||
total of each
tax bill for the preceding year for taxes payable | ||||
on or before December 31, 2009, and (ii) 55% of the total of | ||||
each tax bill for the preceding year beginning with the first | ||||
installment payable in 2010.
If, prior to the preparation of | ||||
the estimated tax bills, a certificate of
error has been either | ||||
approved by a court on or before November 30 of the
preceding | ||||
year or certified pursuant to Section 14-15 on or before | ||||
November 30
of the preceding year, then the first installment | ||||
of taxes on the estimated tax
bills shall be computed at (i) | ||||
50% of the total taxes for the preceding year as
corrected by | ||||
the certificate of error for taxes payable on or before | ||
December 31, 2009, and (ii) 55% of the total taxes for the | ||
preceding year, as
corrected by the certificate of error, | ||
beginning with the first installment payable in 2010.
By June | ||
30 annually, actual tax bills shall
be prepared and mailed. | ||
These bills shall set out total taxes due and the
amount of | ||
estimated taxes billed in the first installment, and shall | ||
state
the balance of taxes due for that year as represented by | ||
the sum derived
from subtracting the amount of the first | ||
installment from the total taxes due
for that year.
| ||
The county board may provide by ordinance, in counties with | ||
3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, for taxes to be paid in 4 | ||
installments. For the levy year for
which the ordinance is | ||
first effective and each subsequent year, estimated tax
bills | ||
setting out the first, second, and third installment of taxes | ||
for the
preceding year, payable in that year, shall be prepared | ||
and mailed not later
than the date specified by ordinance. Each | ||
installment on estimated tax bills
shall be computed at 25% of | ||
the total of each tax bill for the preceding year.
By the date | ||
specified in the ordinance, actual tax bills shall be prepared | ||
and
mailed. These bills shall set out total taxes due and the | ||
amount of estimated
taxes billed in the first, second, and | ||
third installments and shall state the
balance of taxes due for | ||
that year as represented by the sum derived from
subtracting | ||
the amount of the estimated installments from the total taxes | ||
due
for that year.
| ||
The county board of any county with less than 3,000,000 | ||
inhabitants may, by
ordinance or resolution, adopt an | ||
accelerated method of tax billing.
The county board may | ||
subsequently rescind the ordinance or resolution and
revert to | ||
the method otherwise provided for in this Code.
