| 22 | either a railroad or operating property, as defined in the | ||||||
| 23 | Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/11-70), being immediately | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | adjacent to, but exclusive of that railroad property, that | ||||||
| 2 | territory may be annexed
by any municipality by which it is | ||||||
| 3 | bounded in whole or in part,
by the passage of an ordinance to | ||||||
| 4 | that effect after notice is given as
provided in this Section. | ||||||
| 5 | Land or property that is used for agricultural purposes or to | ||||||
| 6 | produce agricultural goods shall not be annexed pursuant to | ||||||
| 7 | item (g). Nothing in this Section shall subject any railroad | ||||||
| 8 | property to the zoning or jurisdiction of any municipality | ||||||
| 9 | annexing the property under this Section. The corporate | ||||||
| 10 | authorities shall cause notice,
stating that annexation of the | ||||||
| 11 | territory described in the notice is
contemplated under this | ||||||
| 12 | Section, to be published once, in a newspaper of
general | ||||||
| 13 | circulation within the territory to be annexed, not less than | ||||||
| 14 | 10
days before the passage of the annexation ordinance, and for | ||||||
| 15 | land annexed pursuant to item (g), notice shall be given to the | ||||||
| 16 | impacted land owners. When the
territory to be annexed lies | ||||||
| 17 | wholly or partially within a township other
than that township | ||||||
| 18 | where the municipality is situated, the annexing
municipality | ||||||
| 19 | shall give at least 10 days prior written notice of the time
| ||||||
| 20 | and place of the passage of the annexation ordinance to the | ||||||
| 21 | township
supervisor of the township where the territory to be | ||||||
| 22 | annexed lies. The

| 23 | annexed and a copy thereof together
with an accurate map of the | ||||||
| 24 | annexed territory shall be recorded in the
office of the | ||||||
| 25 | recorder of the county wherein the annexed territory is
| ||||||
| 26 | situated and a document of annexation shall be filed with the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | county clerk
and County Election Authority. Nothing in this | ||||||
| 2 | Section shall be construed
as permitting a municipality to | ||||||
| 3 | annex territory of a forest preserve
district in a county with | ||||||
| 4 | a population of 3,000,000 or more without
obtaining the consent | ||||||
| 5 | of the district pursuant to Section 8.3 of the
Cook County | ||||||
| 6 | Forest Preserve District Act nor shall anything in this Section | ||||||
| 7 | be construed as permitting a municipality to annex territory | ||||||
| 8 | owned by a park district without obtaining the consent of the | ||||||
| 9 | district pursuant to Section 8-1.1 of the Park District Code.
| ||||||
