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 5/11-111-9

(65 ILCS 5/11-111-9) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-9)

Sec. 11-111-9.

When a specified improvement district has been created by
ordinance under Sections 11-111-8 through 11-111-10, the corporate
authorities shall have an accurate survey of the work contemplated to be
done, made by the city engineer, if there is one, and if not, then by a
competent civil engineer. This engineer shall make and file with the
municipal clerk, plats, profiles, and estimates of the work to be done. The
estimates shall include the cost of all walls or other structures necessary
to hold the earth in its proper place and the cost of the fill upon each
lot, block, or part thereof, and tract of land within the district, which
must be filled under the ordinance. The survey, plat, profile, and
estimates shall be used in estimating the benefit to be charged against the
lots, blocks, or parts thereof, or tracts of land, within that improvement
district by reason of the filing and protection thereof from overflow or
unsanitary accumulation of sipe or surface water.

65 ILCS 5/11-111-10

(65 ILCS 5/11-111-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-10)

Sec. 11-111-10.

Each lot, block, or part thereof, or tract of land in an
improvement district specified in Section 11-111-8, whether already filled
to grade or not, may be assessed to pay the cost of the improvement
according to the special benefit it will receive therefrom.

When the ordinance under which the specified local improvement is
ordered provides that the improvement shall be made wholly or partially by
special taxation of contiguous property, the special tax shall be levied,
assessed, and collected, as nearly as may be, in the manner provided by
Article 9. However, no special tax shall be levied or assessed upon any
property to pay for the improvement, in an amount in excess of the special
benefit which that property will receive from the improvement. The
ordinance is not conclusive of that benefit, but the question of that
benefit and of the amount of the special tax are subject to court review,
and shall be tried in the same manner as in proceedings by special
assessment.
