Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.
MUNICIPALITIES (65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/11-111-9
(65 ILCS 5/11-111-9) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-9)
Sec. 11-111-9.
When a specified improvement district has been created by
ordinance under Sections 11-111-8 through 11-111-10, the corporate
authorities shall have an accurate survey of the work contemplated to be
done, made by the city engineer, if there is one, and if not, then by a
competent civil engineer. This engineer shall make and file with the
municipal clerk, plats, profiles, and estimates of the work to be done. The
estimates shall include the cost of all walls or other structures necessary
to hold the earth in its proper place and the cost of the fill upon each
lot, block, or part thereof, and tract of land within the district, which
must be filled under the ordinance. The survey, plat, profile, and
estimates shall be used in estimating the benefit to be charged against the
lots, blocks, or parts thereof, or tracts of land, within that improvement
district by reason of the filing and protection thereof from overflow or
unsanitary accumulation of sipe or surface water.

65 ILCS 5/11-111-10
(65 ILCS 5/11-111-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-10)
Sec. 11-111-10.
Each lot, block, or part thereof, or tract of land in an
improvement district specified in Section 11-111-8, whether already filled
to grade or not, may be assessed to pay the cost of the improvement
according to the special benefit it will receive therefrom.
When the ordinance under which the specified local improvement is
ordered provides that the improvement shall be made wholly or partially by
special taxation of contiguous property, the special tax shall be levied,
assessed, and collected, as nearly as may be, in the manner provided by
Article 9. However, no special tax shall be levied or assessed upon any
property to pay for the improvement, in an amount in excess of the special
benefit which that property will receive from the improvement. The
ordinance is not conclusive of that benefit, but the question of that
benefit and of the amount of the special tax are subject to court review,
and shall be tried in the same manner as in proceedings by special
assessment.

person, but subject to responsibility for all damages which shall be
occasioned thereby.

(65 ILCS 5/11-112-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-112-1)
Sec. 11-112-1.
When a vote has been taken under "An Act to enable cities,
villages and towns threatened with overflow or inundation to levy taxes by
vote of the electors thereof, to strengthen, build, raise or repair the
levees around same and to issue anticipation warrants on such taxes,"
approved June 11, 1897, as amended, or when a vote is taken under this
section and Section 11-112-2 at a general municipal election in a
municipality that is protected by levees or embankments, or that may deem
it necessary to be so protected, and a majority of the legal votes cast at
the election were or are for a tax to build, raise, strengthen, or repair
the levees around the municipality, not exceeding the rate of .1666%
annually, to be levied annually for a period of not exceeding 7 years on
the taxable property of the municipality, the corporate authorities of the
municipality may (1) make an appropriation by ordinance of the proceeds of
the tax so authorized, (2) pass an ordinance levying the tax for the whole
period as authorized by the vote to be annually extended, and (3) draw tax
anticipation warrants thereon to the amount that the tax levy will produce
based on the assessment of the preceding year of all the taxable property
of the municipality. These warrants shall draw interest at not to exceed
the rate authorized by the vote authorizing the tax, not exceeding 7%
annually, but the warrants shall not be sold below par.
The foregoing limitation upon tax rate may be increased or decreased
according to the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.

(65 ILCS 5/11-112-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-112-2)
Sec. 11-112-2.
The county clerk of the county in which the municipality
specified in Section 11-112-1 is located shall extend each year the taxes
specified in Section 11-112-1, when the ordinance making the levy of the
tax is certified to him. The tax shall be extended at the rate fixed in the
ordinance, not exceeding .1666% for a period not exceeding 7 years. The
county clerk shall extend the tax in a separate column designated the
"Seven Year Levee Tax."
The collector of state and county taxes, when he receives the money
collected from this levee tax, shall pay it to the municipal treasurer,
every 2 weeks, informing the treasurer that this money is from the 7 year
levee tax; and he shall take the treasurer's receipt for the money as 7
year levee tax paid over.
The municipal treasurer shall receive the money so paid over by the
collector and shall pay the money out as rapidly as possible on warrants
issued on the 7 year levee tax only, so long as such warrants remain
unpaid.
This tax shall be levied in addition to taxes for general purposes
authorized by Section 8-3-1.
The foregoing limitation upon tax rate may be increased or decreased
according to the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.
