(55 ILCS 5/5-1109) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1109)
Sec. 5-1109.
Assessment maps in counties of less than
1,000,000. The county board of any county having a population of less
than 1,000,000 inhabitants may whenever in the opinion of the board it
becomes necessary, retain the services of a surveyor who shall be
registered under the provisions of the Illinois Professional Land Surveyor
Act of 1989, as amended, or a person experienced in the
preparation of assessment maps or plats, to prepare assessment maps or
plats of all or any part of the real property in any or all of the
townships in such county. Such maps shall show each separately assessed
parcel of real estate together with the area thereof. Subdivided
property in recorded plats shall be given the same designation as is
contained in the plat recorded, except that the surveyor may designate
by letter or number any assessed parcel within such recorded plat which
cannot be identified without describing it by metes and bounds. Assessed
parcels not within recorded plats shall be designated by lot numbers or
letters. The county board in each county may make such further
regulations concerning this work as are deemed necessary. A copy of the
books containing such maps or plats shall be filed with the county
assessor or supervisor of assessments, with the recorder and
with the county clerk, and a copy of the maps or plats for each township
shall be filed with the assessor of such township, all of whom shall
maintain and preserve these copies subject to the provisions of the
Local Records Act, as amended. Upon the filing of the books as aforesaid,
the county clerk, the township or county assessor, the supervisor of
assessments, the board of review, and all other persons whose duty it is to
assess property within the area covered by the maps, shall, beginning with
the next quadrennial assessment year as set forth in Section 9-95 of the
Property Tax Code, assess the
parcels of land by identifying them in accordance with the description and
designation set forth in such assessment map or maps. All maps filed in
accordance herewith shall be designated as "Supervisors' Assessment Maps ....
Township".
In any county adopting the provisions of this Section, a surveyor,
who shall be registered under the provisions of the Illinois
Professional Land Surveyor Act of 1989, as amended, or a person
experienced in the preparation of assessment maps or plats, shall be
retained by the county board and shall prepare supplemental or
correction maps showing all changes in assessment descriptions made
subsequent to the preceding maps and prior to November 15 of the year
preceding each quadrennial assessment year. Supplemental or correction
maps shall be prepared only of those pages upon which corrections or
changes are to be made and shall conform to the original maps filed
except as to such changes. Copies of such supplemental or correction
maps or pages, properly indexed and identified, shall be bound in one
volume, if practical; shall be filed in the same manner as is herein
provided for copies of the original maps; and shall be known as
"Supplemental Supervisors' Assessment Maps for the year (insert year)".
The expense of making such maps or plats and copies thereof shall be
borne by the county.
