|
|
1 | | AN ACT concerning revenue.
|
2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
4 | | Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing |
5 | | Section 15-172 as follows:
|

|
7 | | Sec. 15-172. Low-Income Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze |
8 | | Homestead Exemption.
|
9 | | (a) This Section may be cited as the Low-Income Senior |
10 | | Citizens Assessment
Freeze Homestead Exemption.
|
11 | | (b) As used in this Section:
|
12 | | "Applicant" means an individual who has filed an |
13 | | application under this
Section.
|
14 | | "Base amount" means the base year equalized assessed value |
15 | | of the residence
plus the first year's equalized assessed |
16 | | value of any added improvements which
increased the assessed |
17 | | value of the residence after the base year.
|
18 | | "Base year" means the taxable year prior to the taxable |
19 | | year for which the
applicant first qualifies and applies for |
20 | | the exemption provided that in the
prior taxable year the |
21 | | property was improved with a permanent structure that
was |
22 | | occupied as a residence by the applicant who was liable for |
23 | | paying real
property taxes on the property and who was either |
|
| | HB2382 | - 2 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | (i) an owner of record of the
property or had legal or |
2 | | equitable interest in the property as evidenced by a
written |
3 | | instrument or (ii) had a legal or equitable interest as a |
4 | | lessee in the
parcel of property that was single family |
5 | | residence.
If in any subsequent taxable year for which the |
6 | | applicant applies and
qualifies for the exemption the |
7 | | equalized assessed value of the residence is
less than the |
8 | | equalized assessed value in the existing base year
(provided |
9 | | that such equalized assessed value is not
based
on an
assessed |
10 | | value that results from a temporary irregularity in the |
11 | | property that
reduces the
assessed value for one or more |
12 | | taxable years), then that
subsequent taxable year shall become |
13 | | the base year until a new base year is
established under the |
14 | | terms of this paragraph. For taxable year 1999 only, the
Chief |
15 | | County Assessment Officer shall review (i) all taxable years |
16 | | for which
the
applicant applied and qualified for the |
17 | | exemption and (ii) the existing base
year.
The assessment |
18 | | officer shall select as the new base year the year with the
|
19 | | lowest equalized assessed value.
An equalized assessed value |
20 | | that is based on an assessed value that results
from a
|
21 | | temporary irregularity in the property that reduces the |
22 | | assessed value for one
or more
taxable years shall not be |
23 | | considered the lowest equalized assessed value.
The selected |
24 | | year shall be the base year for
taxable year 1999 and |
25 | | thereafter until a new base year is established under the
|
26 | | terms of this paragraph.

|
2 | | (c) Beginning in taxable year 1994, a low-income senior |
3 | | citizens assessment freeze
homestead exemption is granted for |
4 | | real property that is improved with a
permanent structure that |

65 years |
6 | | of age or older during the taxable year, (ii) has a household |

|
9 | | property, and (iv) is an owner of record of the property or has |

homestead exemption shall also apply |

property improved with a |

20 | | In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the amount |
21 | | of the exemption for all taxable years is the equalized |
22 | | assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year for which |
23 | | application is made minus the base
amount. In all other |
24 | | counties, the amount of the exemption is as follows: (i) |
25 | | through taxable year 2005 and for taxable year 2007 and |
26 | | thereafter, the amount of this exemption shall be the |
|
| | HB2382 | - 7 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable year |
2 | | for which application is made minus the base
amount; and (ii) |
3 | | for
taxable year 2006, the amount of the exemption is as |
4 | | follows:
|
5 | | (1) For an applicant who has a household income of |
6 | | $45,000 or less, the amount of the exemption is the |
7 | | equalized assessed value of the
residence in the taxable |
8 | | year for which application is made minus the base
amount. |
9 | | (2) For an applicant who has a household income |
10 | | exceeding $45,000 but not exceeding $46,250, the amount of |
11 | | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
|
12 | | residence in the taxable year for which application is |
13 | | made minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.8. |
14 | | (3) For an applicant who has a household income |
15 | | exceeding $46,250 but not exceeding $47,500, the amount of |
16 | | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
|
17 | | residence in the taxable year for which application is |
18 | | made minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.6. |
19 | | (4) For an applicant who has a household income |
20 | | exceeding $47,500 but not exceeding $48,750, the amount of |
21 | | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
|
22 | | residence in the taxable year for which application is |
23 | | made minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.4. |
24 | | (5) For an applicant who has a household income |
25 | | exceeding $48,750 but not exceeding $50,000, the amount of |
26 | | the exemption is (i) the equalized assessed value of the
|
|
| | HB2382 | - 8 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | residence in the taxable year for which application is |
2 | | made minus the base
amount (ii) multiplied by 0.2.
|
3 | | When the applicant is a surviving spouse of an applicant |
4 | | for a prior year for
the same residence for which an exemption |
5 | | under this Section has been granted,
the base year and base |
6 | | amount for that residence are the same as for the
applicant for |
7 | | the prior year.
|
8 | | Each year at the time the assessment books are certified |
9 | | to the County Clerk,
the Board of Review or Board of Appeals |
10 | | shall give to the County Clerk a list
of the assessed values of |
11 | | improvements on each parcel qualifying for this
exemption that |
12 | | were added after the base year for this parcel and that
|
13 | | increased the assessed value of the property.
|
14 | | In the case of land improved with an apartment building |
15 | | owned and operated as
a cooperative or a building that is a |
16 | | life care facility that qualifies as a
cooperative, the |
17 | | maximum reduction from the equalized assessed value of the
|
18 | | property is limited to the sum of the reductions calculated |
19 | | for each unit
occupied as a residence by a person or persons |
20 | | (i) 65 years of age or older, (ii) with a
household income that |
21 | | does not exceed the maximum income limitation, (iii) who is |
22 | | liable, by contract with the
owner
or owners of record, for |
23 | | paying real property taxes on the property, and (iv) who is
an |
24 | | owner of record of a legal or equitable interest in the |
25 | | cooperative
apartment building, other than a leasehold |
26 | | interest. In the instance of a
cooperative where a homestead |
|
| | HB2382 | - 9 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | exemption has been granted under this Section,
the cooperative |
2 | | association or its management firm shall credit the savings
|
3 | | resulting from that exemption only to the apportioned tax |
4 | | liability of the
owner who qualified for the exemption. Any |
5 | | person who willfully refuses to
credit that savings to an |
6 | | owner who qualifies for the exemption is guilty of a
Class B |
7 | | misdemeanor.
|
8 | | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this |
9 | | Section and an
applicant then becomes a resident of a facility |
10 | | licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act, the |
11 | | Nursing Home
Care Act, the Specialized Mental Health |
12 | | Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the ID/DD Community Care Act, or |
13 | | the MC/DD Act, the exemption shall be granted in subsequent |
14 | | years so long as the
residence (i) continues to be occupied by |
15 | | the qualified applicant's spouse or
(ii) if remaining |
16 | | unoccupied, is still owned by the qualified applicant for the
|
17 | | homestead exemption.
|
18 | | Beginning January 1, 1997, when an individual dies who |
19 | | would have qualified
for an exemption under this Section, and |
20 | | the surviving spouse does not
independently qualify for this |
21 | | exemption because of age, the exemption under
this Section |
22 | | shall be granted to the surviving spouse for the taxable year
|
23 | | preceding and the taxable
year of the death, provided that, |
24 | | except for age, the surviving spouse meets
all
other |
25 | | qualifications for the granting of this exemption for those |
26 | | years.
|
|
| | HB2382 | - 10 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | When married persons maintain separate residences, the |
2 | | exemption provided for
in this Section may be claimed by only |
3 | | one of such persons and for only one
residence.
|
4 | | For taxable year 1994 only, in counties having less than |
5 | | 3,000,000
inhabitants, to receive the exemption, a person |
6 | | shall submit an application by
February 15, 1995 to the Chief |
7 | | County Assessment Officer
of the county in which the property |
8 | | is located. In counties having 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, |
9 | | for taxable year 1994 and all subsequent taxable years, to
|
10 | | receive the exemption, a person
may submit an application to |
11 | | the Chief County
Assessment Officer of the county in which the |
12 | | property is located during such
period as may be specified by |
13 | | the Chief County Assessment Officer. The Chief
County |
14 | | Assessment Officer in counties of 3,000,000 or more |
15 | | inhabitants shall
annually give notice of the application |
16 | | period by mail or by publication. In
counties having less than |
17 | | 3,000,000 inhabitants, beginning with taxable year
1995 and |
18 | | thereafter, to receive the exemption, a person
shall
submit an
|
19 | | application by July 1 of each taxable year to the Chief County |
20 | | Assessment
Officer of the county in which the property is |
21 | | located. A county may, by
ordinance, establish a date for |
22 | | submission of applications that is
different than
July 1.
The |
23 | | applicant shall submit with the
application an affidavit of |
24 | | the applicant's total household income, age,
marital status |
25 | | (and if married the name and address of the applicant's |
26 | | spouse,
if known), and principal dwelling place of members of |
|
| | HB2382 | - 11 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | the household on January
1 of the taxable year. The Department |
2 | | shall establish, by rule, a method for
verifying the accuracy |
3 | | of affidavits filed by applicants under this Section, and the |
4 | | Chief County Assessment Officer may conduct audits of any |
5 | | taxpayer claiming an exemption under this Section to verify |
6 | | that the taxpayer is eligible to receive the exemption. Each |
7 | | application shall contain or be verified by a written |
8 | | declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury. A |
9 | | taxpayer's signing a fraudulent application under this Act is |
10 | | perjury, as defined in Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of |
11 | | 2012.
The applications shall be clearly marked as applications |
12 | | for the Low-Income Senior
Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead |
13 | | Exemption and must contain a notice that any taxpayer who |
14 | | receives the exemption is subject to an audit by the Chief |
15 | | County Assessment Officer.
|
16 | | Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, in |
17 | | counties having fewer
than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an |
18 | | applicant fails
to file the application required by this |
19 | | Section in a timely manner and this
failure to file is due to a |
20 | | mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so
as to |
21 | | render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a |
22 | | timely
manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend |
23 | | the filing deadline for
a period of 30 days after the applicant |
24 | | regains the capability to file the
application, but in no case |
25 | | may the filing deadline be extended beyond 3
months of the |
26 | | original filing deadline. In order to receive the extension
|
|
| | HB2382 | - 12 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | provided in this paragraph, the applicant shall provide the |
2 | | Chief County
Assessment Officer with a signed statement from |
3 | | the applicant's physician, advanced practice registered nurse, |
4 | | or physician assistant
stating the nature and extent of the |
5 | | condition, that, in the
physician's, advanced practice |
6 | | registered nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the |
7 | | condition was so severe that it rendered the applicant
|
8 | | incapable of filing the application in a timely manner, and |
9 | | the date on which
the applicant regained the capability to |
10 | | file the application.
|
11 | | Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other |
12 | | provision to the
contrary, in counties having fewer than |
13 | | 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant
fails to file the |
14 | | application required by this Section in a timely manner and
|
15 | | this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition |
16 | | sufficiently
severe so as to render the applicant incapable of |
17 | | filing the application in a
timely manner, the Chief County |
18 | | Assessment Officer may extend the filing
deadline for a period |
19 | | of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided
in this |
20 | | paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County |
21 | | Assessment
Officer with a signed statement from the |
22 | | applicant's physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or |
23 | | physician assistant stating the
nature and extent of the |
24 | | condition, and that, in the physician's, advanced practice |
25 | | registered nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the
|
26 | | condition was so severe that it rendered the applicant |
|
| | HB2382 | - 13 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | incapable of filing the
application in a timely manner.
|
2 | | In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an |
3 | | applicant was
denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the |
4 | | denial occurred due to an
error on the part of an assessment
|
5 | | official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in |
6 | | taxable year 1997
the
applicant's base year, for purposes of |
7 | | determining the amount of the exemption,
shall be 1993 rather |
8 | | than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the
applicant's |
9 | | exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount |
10 | | of
any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995 |
11 | | as a result of using
1994, rather than 1993, as the base year, |
12 | | (ii) the amount of any exemption
denied to the applicant in |
13 | | taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather
than 1993, |
14 | | as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption |
15 | | erroneously
denied for taxable year 1994.
|
16 | | For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years |
17 | | of age during the
current taxable year shall be eligible to |
18 | | apply for the homestead exemption
during that taxable year. |
19 | | Application shall be made during the application
period in |
20 | | effect for the county of his or her residence.
|
21 | | The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the |
22 | | eligibility of a life
care facility that qualifies as a |
23 | | cooperative to receive the benefits
provided by this Section |
24 | | by use of an affidavit, application, visual
inspection, |
25 | | questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure |
26 | | that
the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited |
|
| | HB2382 | - 14 - | LRB103 30155 HLH 56579 b |
|
|
1 | | by the management
firm to the apportioned tax liability of |
2 | | each qualifying resident. The Chief
County Assessment Officer |
3 | | may request reasonable proof that the management firm
has so |
4 | | credited that exemption.
|
5 | | Except as provided in this Section, all information |
6 | | received by the chief
county assessment officer or the |
7 | | Department from applications filed under this
Section, or from |
8 | | any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
|
9 | | Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes |
10 | | or
pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State |
11 | | or local tax or
enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or |
12 | | sanction imposed by this Act or
by any statute or ordinance |
13 | | imposing a State or local tax. Any person who
divulges any such |
14 | | information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
|
15 | | judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
|
16 | | Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the |
17 | | Director or chief county
assessment officer from publishing or |
18 | | making available reasonable statistics
concerning the |
19 | | operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
|
20 | | the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a |
21 | | way that
information contained in any individual claim shall |
22 | | not be disclosed. |
23 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for taxable |
24 | | year 2017 and thereafter, in counties of 3,000,000 or more |
25 | | inhabitants, the amount of the exemption shall be the greater |
