A BILL FOR
HB3594 LRB101 07527 AWJ 52572 b
AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Sections 3-40 and 4-20 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/3-40)
Sec. 3-40. Compensation of supervisors of assessments.
(a) A supervisor of assessments shall receive annual
compensation in an amount fixed by the county board subject to
the following minimum amounts:
In counties with less than 14,000 inhabitants, not less
than $7,500;
In counties with 14,000 or more but less than 30,000
inhabitants, not less than $8,000;
In counties with 30,000 or more but less than 60,000
inhabitants, not less than $9,000;
In counties with 60,000 or more but less than 100,000
inhabitants, not less than $10,000;
In counties with 100,000 or more but less than 200,000
inhabitants, not less than $11,500;
In counties with 200,000 or more but less than 300,000
inhabitants, not less than $13,000;
In counties with 300,000 or more but less than

HB3594 - 2 - LRB101 07527 AWJ 52572 b
1,000,000 inhabitants, not less than $15,000.
For purposes of this subsection, the number of inhabitants
shall be determined by the latest Federal decennial or special
census of the county.
(b) Elected supervisors of assessments who began a term of
office before December 1, 1990 shall be compensated at the rate
of their base salary. "Base salary" is the compensation paid
for their position before July 1, 1989.
(c) Elected supervisors of assessments beginning a term of
office on or after December 1, 1990 shall, beginning December
1, 1993, receive their base salary plus at least 12% of base
salary.
Any supervisor of assessments who has been presented a
Certified Assessing Evaluator Certificate by the International
Association of Assessing Officers shall receive an additional
compensation of $500 per year to be paid out of funds
appropriated to the Department from the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund. No additional compensation shall be paid to
supervisors of assessments whose terms of office begin on or
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st
General Assembly.
The salary set by the county board shall be paid in equal
monthly installments out of the treasury of the county in which
he or she is appointed or elected. If the Department has
determined that the total assessed value of property in a
county, as equalized by the supervisor of assessments under

HB3594 - 3 - LRB101 07527 AWJ 52572 b
Section 9-210, is between 31 1/3% and 35 1/3% of the total fair
cash value of property in the county, subject to appropriation,
the Department shall reimburse the county monthly from the
Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund 50% of the amount of
salary the county paid to the officer for the preceding month.
The county board shall provide necessary office space for
the officer and pay all necessary expenses of the office out of
the county treasury.
Each supervisor of assessments may, with the advice and
consent of the county board, appoint necessary deputies and
clerks, their compensation to be fixed by the county board and
paid by the county.

(35 ILCS 200/4-20)
Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance.
Any assessor in counties with less than 3,000,000 but more than
50,000 inhabitants each year may petition the Department to
receive additional compensation based on performance. To
receive additional compensation, the official's assessment
jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:
(1) the median level of assessment must be no more than
35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of
property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and
(2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater
than 15%.

HB3594 - 4 - LRB101 07527 AWJ 52572 b
For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" means
the average deviation of all assessments from the median level.
For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants shall
be determined by the latest federal decennial census. When the
most recent census shows an increase in inhabitants to over
50,000 or a decrease to 50,000 or fewer, then the assessment
year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion and the most
recent year of the 3-year average level of assessments is the
year that determines qualification for additional
compensation. The Department will promulgate rules and
regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these
criteria.
Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants may
petition the Department for consideration to receive
additional compensation each year based on performance. In
order to receive the additional compensation, the assessments
in the official's assessment jurisdiction must meet the
following criteria: (i) the median level of assessments must be
no more than 35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value
of property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and (ii) the
coefficient of dispersion must not be greater than 40% in 1994,
38% in 1995, 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in 1998, and 30% in
1999 and every year thereafter.
Real estate transfer declarations used by the Department in
annual sales-assessment ratio studies will be used to evaluate
applications for additional compensation. The Department will

HB3594 - 5 - LRB101 07527 AWJ 52572 b
audit other property to determine if the sales-assessment ratio
study data is representative of the assessment jurisdiction. If
the ratio study is found not representative, appraisals and
other information may be utilized. If the ratio study is
representative, upon certification by the Department, the
assessor shall receive additional compensation of $3,000 for
that year, to be paid out of funds appropriated to the
Department from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund.
No additional compensation shall be paid to assessors whose
terms of office begin on or after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
As used in this Section, "assessor" means any township or
multi-township assessor, or supervisor of assessments.

if his or her term begins December 1, 2000 or thereafter, to be
annually appropriated from the Personal Property Tax
Replacement Fund by the General Assembly to the Department of
Revenue which shall distribute the awards in annual lump sum
payments to every elected county treasurer. This annual stipend
shall not affect any other compensation provided by law to be
paid to elected county treasurers. No county board may reduce
or otherwise impair the compensation payable from county funds
to an elected county treasurer if such reduction or impairment
is the result of his receiving an annual stipend under this
Section. No stipend shall be paid to county treasurers whose
terms of office begin on or after the effective date of this
