Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

(65 ILCS 5/7-3-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-3-1)
Sec. 7-3-1.
Within one year of the organization of any municipality under
the provisions of Divisions 2 and 3 of Article 2 of this Code, any
territory which has been included therein may be disconnected from such
municipality if the territory sought to be disconnected is (1) upon the
border, but within the boundary of the municipality, (2) contains 20 or
more acres, (3) if disconnected will not result in the isolation of any
part of the municipality from the remainder of the municipality, and (4) if
disconnected will not be a territory wholly bounded by one or more
municipalities or wholly bounded by one or more municipalities and a river
or lake, (5) if disconnected, the growth prospects and plan and zoning
ordinances, if any, of such municipality will not be unreasonably
disrupted, (6) if disconnected, no substantial disruption will result to
existing municipal service facilities such as, but not limited to, sewer
systems, street lighting, water mains, garbage collection and fire
protection, (7) if disconnected the municipality will not be unduly harmed
through loss of tax revenue in the future. The procedure for disconnection
shall be as follows:
A written petition directed to the circuit court of the county in which
the territory proposed to be disconnected is located and if such territory
is located in more than one county then to the circuit court of the county
in which the greater part of such territory may be located, which petition
shall be signed by a majority of the electors, if any, residing within the
territory and also signed by a majority of the owners of record of land in
such territory, and also representing a majority of the area of land in
such territory, shall be filed with the clerk of the court within one year
of the organization of any municipality under the provisions of Divisions 2
and 3 of Article 2 of this Code. The petition shall set forth the
description of the territory to be detached from such municipality, shall
allege the pertinent facts in support of the disconnection of such
territory and shall pray the court to detach the territory from the
municipality.
