16 | | Section 9-40. The system shall describe property by township, |
|
| | 10000SB1065sam001 | - 2 - | LRB100 07730 HLH 24186 a |
|
|
1 | | section,

4 | | assessment officer or recorder may establish and
maintain cross |
5 | | indexes of numbers assigned under the system with the complete
|

to public inspection |
14 | | and be made available to the public. Any property index
number |
15 | | system established prior to the effective date of this Code |
16 | | shall remain
valid. However, in counties with less than |
17 | | 3,000,000 inhabitants, the system
may be transferred to another |
18 | | authority upon the approval of the county board.
|
19 | | Any real property used for a power generating or automotive |
20 | | manufacturing
facility located within a county of less than |
21 | | 1,000,000 inhabitants, as to
which litigation with respect to |
22 | | its assessed valuation is pending or was
pending as of January |

property tax assessment |
24 | | settlement agreement among the taxpayer and taxing
districts in |
25 | | which it is situated. In addition, any real property that is |
26 | | (i) used for natural gas extraction and fractionation or olefin |

districts in which the property is situated |
5 | | if litigation is or was pending as to its assessed valuation as |
6 | | of January 1, 2003 or thereafter. In addition, any real |
7 | | property that is used for refining crude oil located in a |
8 | | county of less than 1,000,000 inhabitants, as to which |
9 | | litigation with respect to its assessed valuation is pending or |
10 | | was pending as of January 1, 2011, may be the subject of a real |
11 | | property tax assessment settlement agreement among the |
12 | | taxpayer and taxing districts in which it is situated. Other |
13 | | appropriate authorities, which
may include county and State |
14 | | boards or officials, may also be parties to
such agreements. |
15 | | Such agreements may include the assessment of the
facility or |
16 | | property for any years in dispute as well as for up to 10 years |
17 | | in the future.
Such agreements may provide for the settlement |
18 | | of issues relating to the
assessed value of the facility and |
19 | | may provide for related payments,
refunds, claims, credits |
20 | | against taxes and liabilities in respect to past
and future |
21 | | taxes of taxing districts, including any fund created under
|
22 | | Section 20-35 of this Act, all implementing the settlement
|
23 | | agreement. Any such agreement may provide that parties thereto |
24 | | agree not to
challenge assessments as provided in the |
25 | | agreement. An agreement entered
into on or after January 1, |
26 | | 1993 may provide for the classification of property
that is the |

| | 10000SB1065sam001 | - 4 - | LRB100 07730 HLH 24186 a |
|
|
1 | | subject of the agreement as real or personal during the term of |
2 | | the
agreement and thereafter. It may also provide that taxing
|
3 | | districts agree to reimburse the taxpayer for amounts paid by |
4 | | the taxpayer
in respect to taxes for the real property which is |
5 | | the subject of the
agreement to the extent levied by those |
6 | | respective districts, over and
above amounts which would be due |
7 | | if the facility were to be assessed as
provided in the |
8 | | agreement. Such reimbursement may be provided in the
agreement |
9 | | to be made by credit against taxes of the taxpayer. No credits
|
10 | | shall be applied against taxes levied with respect to debt |
11 | | service or lease
payments of a taxing district. No referendum |
12 | | approval or appropriation
shall be required for such an |
13 | | agreement or such credits and any such
obligation shall not |
14 | | constitute indebtedness of the taxing district for
purposes of |
15 | | any statutory limitation. The county collector shall treat
|
16 | | credited amounts as if they had been received by the collector |
17 | | as taxes
paid by the taxpayer and as if remitted to the |
18 | | district. A county
treasurer who is a party to such an |
19 | | agreement may agree to hold amounts
paid in escrow as provided |
20 | | in the agreement for possible use for paying
taxes until |
21 | | conditions of the agreement are met and then to apply these
|
22 | | amounts as provided in the agreement. No such settlement |
23 | | agreement shall
be effective unless it shall have been approved |
24 | | by the court in which such
litigation is pending. Any such |
25 | | agreement which has been entered into
prior to adoption of this |
26 | | amendatory Act of 1988 and which is contingent
upon enactment |
|

21 | | Sec. 11-15. Method of valuation for pollution control |
22 | | facilities. To
determine 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of any |
23 | | certified pollution control
facilities in assessing those |
24 | | facilities, the Department shall , where reasonable, consider: |
25 | | (1) take into

|
|
1 | | attributable to the
facilities in question, capitalized on the |
2 | | basis of their productive earning
value to their owner; (2) the |
3 | | probable net value which could be realized by their
owner if |
4 | | the facilities were removed and sold at a fair, voluntary sale, |
5 | | giving
due account to the expense of removal and condition of |
6 | | the particular
facilities in question; or (3) such and other |
7 | | information as the Department may , consistent with principles |
8 | | set forth in this Section, believe to have a bearing on the |
9 | | fair cash value of the facilities to their owner consider as
|
10 | | bearing on the fair cash value of the facilities to their |
11 | | owner, consistent
with the principles set forth in this |
12 | | Section . For the purposes of this Code,
earnings shall be |
13 | | attributed to a pollution control facility only to the extent
|
14 | | that its operation results in the production of a commercially |
15 | | saleable
by-product , or increases the production of the |
16 | | products or services otherwise sold by the owner of the |
17 | | facility, or reduces the production costs of the
products or |
18 | | services otherwise sold by the owner of such facility.
