13 dwelling but is used as a display or demonstration model
14 home, townhome or condominium unit for prospective buyers of
15 the dwelling or of similar homes, townhomes, or condominium
16 units to be built on other property, the assessed value of
17 the property on which the dwelling, townhome, or condominium

1 display or demonstration model home, townhome or condominium
2 unit contains home furnishings, appliances, offices, and
3 office equipment to further sales activities. This Section
4 shall not be applicable if the dwelling, townhome, or
5 condominium unit is occupied as a dwelling or the property on
6 which the dwelling, townhome, or condominium unit is situated
7 is sold or leased for use other than as a display or

19 each radius shall be the display or demonstration model that
20 has been used as such for the longest period of time. The
21 person liable for taxes on property eligible for assessment
22 as provided in this Section shall file a verified application
23 with the chief county assessment officer on or before (i)
24 April 30 of each assessment year for which that assessment is
25 desired in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more
26 and (ii) December January 31 of each assessment year for
27 which that assessment is desired in all other counties.
28 Failure to make a timely filing in any assessment year
29 constitutes a waiver of the right to benefit for that
30 assessment year.
