10200HB1926sam001- 4 -LRB102 00017 AWJ 22402 a

3    Sec. 8-3-1. The corporate authorities may levy and collect
4taxes for corporate purposes. They shall do this in the
5following manner:
6    On or before the last Tuesday in December in each year, the
7corporate authorities shall ascertain the total amount of
8appropriations legally made or budgeted for and any amount
9deemed necessary to defray additional expenses and liabilities
10for all corporate purposes to be provided for by the tax levy
11of that year. Then, by an ordinance specifying in detail in the
12manner authorized for the annual appropriation ordinance or
13budget of the municipality, the purposes for which the
14appropriations, budgeting or such additional amounts deemed
15necessary have been made and the amount assignable for each
16purpose respectively, the corporate authorities shall levy
17upon all property subject to taxation within the municipality
18as that property is assessed and equalized for state and
19county purposes for the current year.
20    A certified copy of this ordinance shall be filed with the
21county clerk of the proper county. He shall ascertain the rate
22per cent which, upon the value of all property subject to
23taxation within the municipality, as that property is assessed
24or equalized by the Department of Revenue, will produce a net
25amount of not less than the total amount so directed to be

 

 

10200HB1926sam001- 5 -LRB102 00017 AWJ 22402 a

1levied. The county clerk shall extend this tax in a separate
2column upon the books of the collector of state and county
3taxes within the municipality.
4    However, in ascertaining the rate per cent in
5municipalities having a population of 500,000 or more, the
6county clerk shall not add to the amount of the tax so levied
7for any purpose any amount to cover the loss and cost of
8collecting the tax, except in the case of amounts levied for
9the payment of bonded indebtedness, or interest thereon, and
10in the case of amounts levied for the purposes of pension
11funds.
12    Where the corporate limits of a municipality lie partly in
132 or more counties, the corporate authorities shall ascertain
14the total amount of all taxable property lying within the
15corporate limits of that municipality in each county, as the
16property is assessed or equalized by the Department of Revenue
17for the current year, and shall certify the amount of taxable
18property in each county within that municipality under the
19seal of the municipality, to the county clerk of the county
20where the seat of government of the municipality is situated.
21That county clerk shall ascertain the rate per cent which,
22upon the total valuation of all property subject to taxation
23within that municipality, ascertained as provided in this
24Section, will produce a net amount not less than the total
25amount directed to be levied. As soon as that rate per cent is
26ascertained, that clerk shall certify the rate per cent under

 

 

10200HB1926sam001- 6 -LRB102 00017 AWJ 22402 a

1his signature and seal of office to the county clerk of each
2other county wherein a portion of that municipality is
3situated. A county clerk to whom a rate per cent is certified
4shall extend the tax in a separate column upon the books of the
5collector of state and county taxes for his county against all
6property in his county within the limits of that municipality.
7    But in municipalities with 500,000 or more inhabitants,
8the aggregate amount of taxes so levied exclusive of the
9amount levied for the payment of bonded indebtedness, or
10interest thereon, and exclusive of taxes levied for the
11payment of judgments, for which a special tax is authorized by

14.25%, or the rate in effect on July 1, 1967, whichever is
15greater, and on a permanent basis, but not exceeding the per

17    Any municipality voting after August 1, 1969, to increase
18its rate limitation for general corporate purposes under this
19Section shall establish such increased rate limitation on an
20ongoing basis unless otherwise changed by referendum.
21    In municipalities that are not home rule units, any funds
22on hand at the end of the fiscal year, which funds are not
23pledged for or allocated to a particular purpose, may by
24action of the corporate authorities be transferred to the
25capital improvement fund and accumulated therein, but the
26total amount accumulated in such fund may not exceed 3% of the
