| ||||||
9 | Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance. | ||||||
10 | (a) Any assessor in
a county counties with less than | ||||||
11 | 3,000,000 but more than 50,000 inhabitants who was elected | ||||||
12 | prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st | ||||||
13 | General Assembly each
year may petition the Department each | ||||||
14 | year to receive additional compensation based on
performance. | ||||||
15 | To receive additional compensation, the official's assessment
| ||||||
16 | jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:
| ||||||
17 | (1) the median level of assessment must be no more than
| ||||||
18 | 35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of | ||||||
19 | property
in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and
| ||||||
20 | (2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater | ||||||
21 | than 15%.
| ||||||
22 | For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" means | ||||||
23 | the average
deviation of all assessments from the median level.
| ||||||
24 | For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants shall | ||||||
25 | be determined
by the latest federal decennial census. When the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | most
recent census shows an increase in inhabitants to over | ||||||
2 | 50,000 or a decrease
to 50,000 or fewer, then the
assessment | ||||||
3 | year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion and the most
| ||||||
4 | recent year of the 3-year average level of assessments is the | ||||||
5 | year that
determines qualification for additional
| ||||||
6 | compensation.
The Department will
promulgate rules and | ||||||
7 | regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these
| ||||||
8 | criteria.
| ||||||
9 | With respect to assessors who are elected on or after the | ||||||
10 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General | ||||||
11 | Assembly, the township board of any township with an assessor | ||||||
12 | who meets the criteria for additional compensation set forth in | ||||||
13 | this subsection may petition the Department for additional | ||||||
14 | funding based on the assessor's performance. | ||||||
15 | (b) Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants | ||||||
16 | who was elected prior to the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
17 | Act of the 101st General Assembly may
petition the
Department | ||||||
18 | for consideration to receive additional compensation each year
| ||||||
19 | based on performance. In order to receive the additional | ||||||
20 | compensation, the
assessments in the official's assessment | ||||||
21 | jurisdiction must meet the following
criteria: (i) the median | ||||||
22 | level of assessments must be no more than 35 1/3% and
no less | ||||||
23 | than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of property in his or her | ||||||
24 | assessment
jurisdiction; and (ii) the coefficient of | ||||||
25 | dispersion must not be greater than
40% in 1994, 38% in 1995, | ||||||
26 | 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in 1998, and 30% in
1999 and every |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | year thereafter.
| ||||||
2 | With respect to assessors who are elected on or after the | ||||||
3 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General | ||||||
4 | Assembly, the township board of any township with an assessor | ||||||
5 | who meets the criteria for additional compensation set forth in | ||||||
6 | this subsection may petition the Department for additional | ||||||
7 | funding based on the assessor's performance. | ||||||
8 | (c) Real estate transfer declarations used by the | ||||||
9 | Department in annual
sales-assessment ratio studies will be | ||||||
10 | used to evaluate applications for
additional compensation. The | ||||||
11 | Department will audit other property to determine
if the | ||||||
12 | sales-assessment ratio study data is representative of the | ||||||
13 | assessment
jurisdiction. If the ratio study is found not | ||||||
14 | representative, appraisals and
other information may be | ||||||
15 | utilized. If the ratio study is representative, upon
| ||||||
16 | certification by the Department, the assessor shall receive | ||||||
17 | additional
compensation of $3,000 for that year, to be paid out | ||||||
18 | of funds appropriated to
the Department from the Personal | ||||||
19 | Property Tax Replacement Fund.
| ||||||
20 | (d) As used in this Section, "assessor" means any township | ||||||
21 | or multi-township
assessor, or supervisor of assessments.
