Illinois Compiled Statutes
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 5/11-83-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-83-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-83-1)
Sec. 11-83-1.
In addition to all other means or methods authorized by law
for the repair, maintenance, resurfacing, or reconstruction of street
pavements, any municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the resurfacing
of streets paved by macadam, brick, granite, blocks, asphalt, cement, or
other type of pavement, when that pavement becomes disintegrated at the
surface or by reason of wear, usage, or lapse of time becomes otherwise
inadequate, defective, or imperfect. The municipality, by that ordinance,
may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the cost of the
resurfacing of those streets (1) by special taxation of the lots or parcels
of land fronting upon those streets, or (2) by special assessment upon the
property benefited by the improvement of those streets through the
resurfacing, or (3) by apportioning the cost of the resurfacing so that
part of the cost will be paid by special assessment upon the property
benefited and part of it by appropriation from the fund accumulated through
the vehicle tax levied in accordance with the statute for purposes of
street and alley improvement or repair.

SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
|
65 ILCS 5/11-84-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-84-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-1)
Sec. 11-84-1.
In addition to any other manner authorized by law, any
municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the construction and repair of
sidewalks therein, along or upon any streets or part of streets therein.
The corporate authorities, by that ordinance, may provide for the payment
of the whole or any part of the cost thereof by special taxation of the
lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line where such
a sidewalk is ordered. This special taxation may be either by levying the
whole or any part of the cost thereof upon each of the lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk, pro
rata, according to their respective values. The values of the lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land shall be determined by the last preceding
assessment thereof for the purpose of state and county taxation. Or the
whole or any part of the cost thereof may be levied upon such lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land in proportion to their frontage upon such
sidewalk, or in proportion to their superficial area, as may be provided by
ordinance ordering the laying down of the sidewalk. In case the ordinance
only requires a part of the cost of the sidewalk to be paid by a special
tax as provided in this section, the residue of the cost shall be paid out
of any fund of the municipality raised by general taxation upon the
property in the municipality and not otherwise appropriated. Such a
municipality, by one and the same ordinance, may provide for the
construction or repair of sidewalks under this article on 2 or more
streets, or parts of streets, or on one or both sides of any street or
streets, whenever the sidewalks are so connected, or otherwise related, as
to constitute a single system of improvement. A duplicate copy of the
ordinance, duly certified by law, shall be delivered by the clerk of the
municipality to the recorder of deeds of each county in which any part of
the property is located not less than 30 days before commencement of any
construction by the municipality as specified hereinafter in this Division
84. Each recorder shall record the copy and keep it as part of the
permanent records of the office of such recorder. Such special taxes are a
lien upon the property against which they are charged from the date upon
which a copy of said ordinance is filed or recorded, which lien is
discharged when the tax has been paid or the property has been sold
pursuant to Section 11-84-5 of this Act.
When the tax has been fully paid, the corporate authorities of the
municipality shall execute and record, in the recorder's office of the
county in which the land is located, a release of the lien of the taxes so
paid, and shall deliver a copy of the release to the owner of the property.
