65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

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 5/11-15.4-25)
    Sec. 11-15.4-25. Taxation of property; water rates and charges.

(a) If authorized by the ordinance that establishes an urban agricultural area under Section 11-15.4-20, a municipality may provide for the abatement of taxes it levies upon real property located within an urban agricultural area that is used by a qualifying farmer for processing, growing, raising, or otherwise producing agricultural products under item (11) of subsection (a) of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code. Parcels of property assessed under Section 10-110 of the Property Tax Code are not eligible for the abatements provided in this subsection; except that if real property assessed under Section 10-110 is reassessed and is subsequently no longer assessed under Section 10-110, that property becomes eligible for the abatements provided for in this Section. Real property located in a redevelopment area created under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act and an urban agricultural area created under this Division may be eligible for an abatement under this Section, but only with respect to the initial equalized assessed value of the real property.

(b) A municipality may authorize an entity providing water, electricity, or other utilities to an urban agricultural area to allow qualified farmers and partner organizations in the urban agricultural area to: (1) pay wholesale or otherwise reduced rates for service to property within the urban agricultural area that is used for processing, growing, raising, or otherwise producing agricultural products; or (2) pay reduced or waived connection charges for service to property within the urban agricultural area that is used for processing, growing, raising, or otherwise producing agricultural products.

    Sec. 11-15.4-30. Unreasonable restrictions and regulations; special assessments and levies.

(a) A municipality may not exercise any of its powers to enact ordinances within an urban agricultural area in a manner that would unreasonably restrict or regulate farming practices in contravention of the purposes of this Act unless the restrictions or regulations bear a direct relationship to public health or safety.

(b) A unit of local government providing public services, such as sewer, water, lights, or non-farm drainage, may not impose benefit assessments or special ad valorem levies on land within an urban agricultural area on the basis of frontage, acreage, or value unless the benefit assessments or special ad valorem levies were imposed prior to the formation of the urban agricultural area or unless the service is provided to the landowner on the same basis as others having the service.
