7 (70 ILCS 605/5-31) (from Ch. 42, par. 5-31)
8 Sec. 5-31. Division of Assessment when Ownership is
9 Divided. If, at any time, the ownership of any tract of land
10 is divided in a manner other than that described in any
11 assessment roll and such assessment, or a portion thereof, is
12 unpaid, the landowners may agree upon the division of the
13 assessment or the unpaid portion thereof between or among
14 them and request the division of the assessment on the
15 district collector's books. If the request for division of
16 the assessment is approved by the commissioners, they shall
17 adopt a resolution granting the request and file the same
18 with the Clerk, who shall record it in the drainage record.
19 The district collector, upon receipt of a certified copy of
20 the resolution, shall make a division of the assessment or
21 the unpaid portion thereof on his books to correspond with
22 the agreement of the landowners, and such divided assessment
23 shall thereafter be enforceable only against the separate
24 tracts according to the method of division. Annual
25 maintenance assessments may be divided between or among
26 several owners in the same manner as is hereinabove provided
27 for other assessments. In the absence of such agreement, the
28 clerk district collector shall divide the assessment, or the
29 unpaid portion thereof, on his or her books to correspond to
