HB2392 Enrolled LRB9206109WHcs
AN ACT concerning conveyances.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Conveyances Act is amended by adding
Section 35d as follows:
(765 ILCS 5/35d new)
Sec. 35d. Execution; permanent index number. In a county
with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, whenever any deed or
instrument of conveyance is executed, the grantor of
residential property shall provide the grantee of the
property with an individual permanent index number or numbers
that specifically represent the legal description provided
for in the deed or instrument of conveyance. If the
individual permanent index number or numbers do not
specifically represent the legal description in the deed or
instrument of conveyance, the grantor shall provide one of
the following:
(1) proof that a proper application for division
which requests division of property, a portion of which
would result in a permanent index number or numbers that
represent the legal description found in the deed or
instrument of conveyance, has been filed with the county
assessor;
(2) a recorded plat of subdivision that would
result in the issuance of a permanent index number or
numbers as described in subdivision (1); or
(3) a recorded condominium declaration that would
result in the issuance of a permanent index number or
numbers as described in subdivision (1).
If the grantor fails to provide the grantee with either a
permanent index number or numbers that represent the legal
description found in the deed or instrument of conveyance or
one of the documents listed in subdivision (1), (2), or (3),
the grantor shall be personally liable to the grantee for
taxes pursuant to Section 1-145 of the Property Tax Code and
attorney's fees. The grantor's liability shall continue to
accrue until the permanent index number or numbers that
represent the legal description found in the deed or
instrument of conveyance or one of the documents listed in
subdivision (1), (2), or (3) is delivered to the grantee. The
grantor's failure to provide the permanent index number or
numbers shall not invalidate the deed or instrument of
conveyance. A receipt from the county assessor confirming
that a proper application has been filed and that it meets
the requirements set by the county assessor shall be deemed
to be evidence of proper application for division.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
Passed in the General Assembly May 30, 2001.
Approved August 21, 2001.
