| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||

| ||||

| ||||
(65 ILCS 5/7-1-13) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-13)
| ||||
Sec. 7-1-13. Whenever any unincorporated territory | ||||
containing 60
acres or less, is wholly bounded by (a) one or | ||||
more municipalities, (b)

in a county with a population of
400,000 or more, or one or | ||||
more municipalities and a river or lake in any
county, (c) one | ||||
or more municipalities and the Illinois State

or more municipalities and property owned by the
State of | ||||
Illinois, except highway right-of-way owned in fee by the | ||||
State,
(e) one or more municipalities and a forest preserve | ||||
district or park district, or
(f) if the territory is a | ||||
triangular parcel of less than 10 acres, one or
more | ||||
municipalities and an interstate highway owned in fee by the | ||||
State and
bounded by a frontage road, or (g) one or more | ||||
municipalities in a county with a population of more than | ||||
800,000 inhabitants and less than 2,000,000 inhabitants and | ||||
either a railroad or operating property, as defined in the | ||||
Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/11-70), being immediately | ||||
adjacent to, but exclusive of that railroad property, that | ||
territory may be annexed
by any municipality by which it is | ||
bounded in whole or in part,
by the passage of an ordinance to | ||
that effect after notice is given as
provided in this Section. | ||
Land or property that is used for agricultural purposes or to | ||
produce agricultural goods shall not be annexed pursuant to | ||
item (g). Nothing in this Section shall subject any railroad | ||
property to the zoning or jurisdiction of any municipality | ||
annexing the property under this Section. The corporate | ||
authorities shall cause notice,
stating that annexation of the | ||
territory described in the notice is
contemplated under this | ||
Section, to be published once, in a newspaper of
general | ||
circulation within the territory to be annexed, not less than | ||
10
days before the passage of the annexation ordinance, and for | ||
land annexed pursuant to item (g), notice shall be given to the | ||
impacted land owners. When the
territory to be annexed lies | ||
wholly or partially within a township other
than that township | ||
where the municipality is situated, the annexing
municipality | ||
shall give at least 10 days prior written notice of the time
| ||
and place of the passage of the annexation ordinance to the | ||
township
supervisor of the township where the territory to be | ||
annexed lies. The
ordinance shall describe the territory | ||
annexed and a copy thereof together
with an accurate map of the | ||
annexed territory shall be recorded in the
office of the | ||
recorder of the county wherein the annexed territory is
| ||
situated and a document of annexation shall be filed with the | ||
county clerk
and County Election Authority. Nothing in this | ||
Section shall be construed
as permitting a municipality to | ||
annex territory of a forest preserve
district in a county with | ||
a population of 3,000,000 or more without
obtaining the consent | ||
of the district pursuant to Section 8.3 of the
Cook County | ||
Forest Preserve District Act nor shall anything in this Section | ||
be construed as permitting a municipality to annex territory | ||
owned by a park district without obtaining the consent of the | ||
district pursuant to Section 8-1.1 of the Park District Code.
