A BILL FOR
HB0195 LRB096 02979 HLH 12993 b
AN ACT concerning revenue.
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
Section 9-85 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/9-85)
Sec. 9-85. Revision of assessments by county assessor and
board of review; Counties of 3,000,000 or more.
(a) In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the
county assessor shall have authority annually to revise the
assessment books and correct them as appears to be just; and on
complaint in writing in proper form by any taxpayer, and after
affording the taxpayer an opportunity to be heard thereon, he
or she shall do so at any time, until the assessment is
verified. An entry upon the assessment books does not
constitute an assessment until the assessment is verified. When
a notice is to be mailed under Section 12-55 and the address
that appears on the assessor's records is the address of a
mortgage lender or the trustee, where title to the property is
held in a land trust, or in any event whenever the notice is
mailed by the assessor to a taxpayer at or in care of the
address of a mortgage lender or a trustee where the title to
the property is held in a land trust, the mortgage lender or

HB0195 - 2 - LRB096 02979 HLH 12993 b
the trustee within 15 days of the mortgage lender's or the
trustee's receipt of such notice shall mail a copy of the
notice to each mortgagor of the property referred to in the
notice at the last known address of each mortgagor as shown on
the records of the mortgage lender, or to each beneficiary as
shown on the records of the trustee.
(b) On or before October 1, 2009, the county assessor shall
reassess all residential property in the county for which 2009
is not the general assessment year. For the purposes of this
subsection, "residential property" means a single-family home,
a condominium, a cooperative, an apartment, or a mixed-use
building of 6 or fewer units.
(c) All changes and alterations pursuant to Section 16-95
or Section 16-120 in the assessment of property shall be
subject to revision and entry into the assessment books by the
board of appeals (until the first Monday in December 1998 and
the board of review beginning the first Monday in December 1998
and thereafter) in the same manner as the original assessments.
