 1        AN ACT to amend the Property Tax Code by changing Section
 2    9-55.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 6    Section 9-55 as follows:
 7        (35 ILCS 200/9-55)
 8        Sec. 9-55.  Survey by owner. When a property  is  divided
 9    into   parcels   so  that  it  cannot  be  described  without
10    describing it by metes and bounds, it  is  the  duty  of  the
11    owner  to  have  the land surveyed and platted into lots. The
12    platting shall be in accord with the Plat Act. The plat shall
13    be certified and recorded before the issuance of any building
14    permit for the lot or lots by any unit  of  local  government
15    responsible  for  issuing  the  building permit, or except as
16    otherwise provided by the unit of  local  government.     The
17    description  of  property,  in accordance with the number and
18    description in the plat, shall be a valid description of  the
19    property  described.  However,  no  plat  of  a  subdivision,
20    vacation  or  dedication of a tract of land shall be approved
21    by a city, incorporated town or village  officer,  nor  shall
22    any  recorder  record  a  plat,  unless  a statement from the
23    county clerk is endorsed thereon showing that he or she finds
24    no delinquent general taxes, unpaid  current  general  taxes,
25    delinquent  special  assessments  or  unpaid  current special
26    assessments against the tract of land. No officer of a  city,
27    village  or  incorporated  town  shall  approve the plat of a
28    subdivision  of  a  tract  of   land   until   all   deferred
29    installments  of  outstanding  unpaid special assessments are
30    either certified as  paid  by  the  proper  collector,  or  a
31    division   thereof  is  made  in  accord  with  the  proposed
                            -2-                LRB9009722KDks
 1    subdivision and duly approved by the court that confirmed the
 2    special assessment.
