(70 ILCS 1205/3-6b) (from Ch. 105, par. 3-6b)
Sec. 3-6b.
The owner or owners of record of any area of land consisting of one
or more tracts located in a county or counties having a population of
less than 1,000,000 lying within the corporate limits of any park
district which (1) is not contiguous in whole or in part to any other
park district; (2) contains 20 or more acres; (3) is not subdivided into
municipal lots and blocks; (4) is located on the border of the park
district, (5) which, if disconnected will not result in the isolation of
any part of the park district from the remainder of the park district,
and (6) which, if disconnected will not result in reducing the assessed
valuation, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, of
all of the taxable property within the park
district to be ascertained by the last assessment for state and county
taxes prior to the filing of the petition, to less than $20,000,000, may
have the area disconnected as follows:
The owner or owners of record of any such area shall file a petition
in the circuit court of the county in which the land is situated,
alleging facts in support of the disconnection. If such area of land is
located in 2 or more counties, such petition shall be filed in the
circuit court of the county in which the largest portion of such area of
land is located. The park district from which disconnection is sought
shall be made a defendant and it or any taxpayer residing in the park
district may appear and defend against the petition. If the court finds
that the allegations of the petition are true, and that the area of land
is entitled to disconnection, it shall order the designated land
disconnected from the designated park district. Such petition shall be
filed within one year after the park district is organized.
This Section shall apply only to park districts which are organized
after the effective date of this amendatory Act.
