In addition, the county | 14 | | clerk in a county containing a population of
3,000,000 or more | 15 | | shall include in the 1997

| 22 | | "Recovered tax increment value" means, except as otherwise | 23 | | provided in this

Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of each | 7 | | taxable lot, block,

to this Law for the 1995 | 13 | | levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized
assessed | 14 | | value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased | 15 | | if a
municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993 | 16 | | as a redevelopment
project area previously established under | 17 | | the Tax Increment Allocation
Development Act in the Illinois | 18 | | Municipal Code, previously established under
the Industrial | 19 | | Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, or previously

|
| 1 | | real property from a

in | 4 | | the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic
Development Area | 5 | | Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
| 6 | | means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value | 7 | | of each taxable

| 11 | | Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting | 12 | | rate" means a
fraction the numerator of which is the last
| 13 | | preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one | 14 | | plus the
extension limitation defined in this Section and the | 15 | | denominator of which
is the current year's equalized assessed | 16 | | value of all real property in the
territory under the | 17 | | jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior
levy year. | 18 | | If an increase in the district's aggregate extension has been | 19 | | approved by referendum pursuant to Section 18-190.3, then, for | 20 | | the year for which the increase has been approved, the limiting | 21 | | rate for that district shall be a fraction, the numerator of | 22 | | which is the sum of (i) the last
preceding aggregate extension | 23 | | base times an amount equal to one plus the
extension limitation | 24 | | defined in this Section and (ii) the amount of the increase | 25 | | approved by referendum under Section 18-190.3 of this Law, and | 26 | | the denominator of which
is the current year's equalized |
| | | SB0685 Engrossed | - 18 - | LRB101 04446 HLH 49454 b |
|
| 1 | | assessed value of all real property in the
territory under the | 2 | | jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior
levy year. | 3 | | For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
| 4 | | extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school | 5 | | districts that reduced their extension for educational | 6 | | purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate | 7 | | extension
in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be | 8 | | used for the purpose of
computing the limiting rate. The | 9 | | denominator shall not include new
property or the recovered tax | 10 | | increment
value.
If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a limiting | 11 | | rate increase has been approved at an election held after March | 12 | | 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable limiting rate shall | 13 | | be increased by the amount of the new rate or shall be reduced | 14 | | by the amount of the rate decrease, as the case may be, or (ii) | 15 | | in the case of a limiting rate increase, the limiting rate | 16 | | shall be equal to the rate set forth
in the proposition | 17 | | approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the | 18 | | proposition, after
which the limiting rate of the taxing | 19 | | district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case | 20 | | of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an | 21 | | increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate | 22 | | for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the | 23 | | approximate total amount of taxes extendable for that tax year, | 24 | | as set forth in the proposition approved by the voters; this | 25 | | rate shall be the final rate applied by the county clerk for | 26 | | the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for tax year |
