Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that relief from an order for a tax deed may be had under certain provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure concerning motions after judgment in nonjury cases. Provides that notice of the expiration of the period of redemption must be served upon certain owners and parties interested in the property in the manner set forth under certain provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure (now, personal service). Requires the court to enter orders to place the tax-deed grantee's successor in interest in possession of the property and authorizes the court to grant other relief to maintain the successor in interest in possession. Provides that the notice of the expiration of the period of redemption may not be served more than 6 months (now, 5 months) before the expiration of the period of redemption. Provides that the changes concerning post-judgment motions and the changes concerning the possession by the tax-deed grantee's successor in interest must be construed as being declarative of existing law and not as a new enactment.

Provides that the base year for counties other than Cook County is the 2004 or 2005 tax year. Provides that, to subject itself to the provisions of the alternative general homestead exemption, a county, if it has not previously done so, must adopt an ordinance to that effect within 6 months after the effective date of this amendatory Act. Provides that Cook County may elect, by an ordinance adopted within 6 months after the effective date of this amendatory Act, to extend the application of the alternative general homestead exemption for 3 additional assessment years. Requires that, for each assessment year in which the alternative general homestead exemption applies, the county clerk must determine whether the taxes on each homestead property are more, less, or the same as a result of the county's election to be subject to the alternative general homestead exemption rather than the general homestead exemption, and sets forth requirements for making the determination. In a Section concerning the mailing of tax bills, requires that each tax bill for homestead property include a notice of whether the taxes are more, less, or the same as a result of the county's election to be subject to the alternative general homestead exemption. Requires that tax bills include a notice containing certain information concerning the alternative general homestead exemption. Makes other changes.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts provisions of the bill, as amended by House Amendments 1 and 3, with the following changes: In provisions concerning the valuation of open-space land, provides that, if land is improved with a water-retention dam that is operated primarily for commercial purposes, that dam is not considered to be used for open space purposes despite the fact that any resulting man-made lake may be considered to be used for open space purposes. In provisions concerning the alternative general homestead exemption, makes changes to the required content and format for notices concerning the alternative general homestead exemption. Requires a notice concerning the alternative general homestead exemption to be included with any notice concerning whether an assessment will increase, decrease, or stay the same (instead of requiring the additional notice only with assessment notices required by certain statutory provisions). Provides that information concerning the alternative general homestead exemption must be included with each second installment property tax bill (instead of with each tax bill). Limits the information concerning the alternative general homestead exemption that may appear on or with a property tax bill. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
