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.

(35 ILCS 200/16-80)

Sec. 16-80.

Reduced assessment of homestead property.

In any county
with
fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if
the board of review
lowers the assessment of a particular parcel on which a
residence occupied by
the owner is situated, the reduced assessment, subject to equalization, shall
remain in effect for the remainder of the general assessment period as provided
in Sections 9-215 through 9-225, unless the taxpayer, county assessor, or
other interested party
can show substantial cause why the reduced assessment should not remain in
effect, or unless the decision of the board is reversed or modified upon
review.
