5 Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
6 Sections 9-55 and 10-20 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. Any unit of local government
14 responsible for issuing building permits may require, by
15 ordinance, that the plat be certified and recorded before the
16 building permit is issued, unless a subdivision plat is not
17 required under subsection (b) of Section 1 of the Plat Act.
18 The description of property, in accordance with the number
19 and description in the plat, shall be a valid description of
20 the property described. However, no plat of a subdivision,
21 vacation or dedication of a tract of land shall be approved
22 by a city, incorporated town or village officer, nor shall
23 any recorder record a plat, unless a statement from the
24 county clerk is endorsed thereon showing that he or she finds
25 no delinquent general taxes, unpaid current general taxes,
26 delinquent special assessments or unpaid current special
27 assessments against the tract of land. No officer of a city,
28 village or incorporated town shall approve the plat of a
29 subdivision of a tract of land until all deferred
30 installments of outstanding unpaid special assessments are
31 either certified as paid by the proper collector, or a

6 Sec. 10-20. Repairs and maintenance of residential
7 property. Maintenance and repairs to residential property
8 owned and used exclusively for a residential purpose shall
9 not increase the assessed valuation of the property. For
10 purposes of this Section, work shall be deemed repair and
11 maintenance when it (1) does not increase the square footage
12 of improvements and does not materially alter the existing
13 character and condition of the structure but is limited to
14 work performed to prolong the life of the existing
15 improvements or to keep the existing improvements in a well
16 maintained condition; and (2) employs materials, such as
17 those used for roofing or siding, whose value is not greater
18 than the replacement value of the materials being replaced.
19 Maintenance and repairs, as those terms are used in this
20 Section, to property that enhance the overall exterior and
21 interior appearance and quality of a residence by restoring
22 it from a state of disrepair to a standard state of repair do
23 not "materially alter the existing character and condition"
24 of the residence.
