Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(65 ILCS 5/11-81-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-81-1)
Sec. 11-81-1.
The corporate authorities of each municipality, whether
incorporated under the general law or a special charter, which includes
wholly within its corporate limits a township or townships, or a road
district, may levy, annually, a tax for street and bridge purposes of
not to exceed .06% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the

elected to the city council or board of trustees of such a municipality,
a greater levy for bridge and street purposes is needed, an additional
levy may be made of any sum not exceeding .04% of such taxable property.
Municipalities having a higher limitation than .10% for street and
bridge purposes on July 1, 1967 may continue to levy such higher rate.
The street and bridge tax authorized by this Section shall be in
addition to: (1) any tax that such a municipality is now authorized to
levy for street or bridge purposes, and (2) the tax that such a
municipality is now authorized to levy upon all property within the
municipality, and (3) the amount authorized to be levied for general
purposes as provided by Section 8-3-1.

SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
|
65 ILCS 5/11-84-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-84-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-1)
Sec. 11-84-1.
In addition to any other manner authorized by law, any
municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the construction and repair of
sidewalks therein, along or upon any streets or part of streets therein.
The corporate authorities, by that ordinance, may provide for the payment
of the whole or any part of the cost thereof by special taxation of the
lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line where such
a sidewalk is ordered. This special taxation may be either by levying the
whole or any part of the cost thereof upon each of the lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk, pro
rata, according to their respective values. The values of the lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land shall be determined by the last preceding
assessment thereof for the purpose of state and county taxation. Or the
whole or any part of the cost thereof may be levied upon such lots, blocks,
tracts, or parcels of land in proportion to their frontage upon such
sidewalk, or in proportion to their superficial area, as may be provided by
ordinance ordering the laying down of the sidewalk. In case the ordinance
only requires a part of the cost of the sidewalk to be paid by a special
tax as provided in this section, the residue of the cost shall be paid out
of any fund of the municipality raised by general taxation upon the
property in the municipality and not otherwise appropriated. Such a
municipality, by one and the same ordinance, may provide for the
construction or repair of sidewalks under this article on 2 or more
streets, or parts of streets, or on one or both sides of any street or
streets, whenever the sidewalks are so connected, or otherwise related, as
to constitute a single system of improvement. A duplicate copy of the
ordinance, duly certified by law, shall be delivered by the clerk of the
municipality to the recorder of deeds of each county in which any part of
the property is located not less than 30 days before commencement of any
construction by the municipality as specified hereinafter in this Division
84. Each recorder shall record the copy and keep it as part of the
permanent records of the office of such recorder. Such special taxes are a
lien upon the property against which they are charged from the date upon
which a copy of said ordinance is filed or recorded, which lien is
discharged when the tax has been paid or the property has been sold
pursuant to Section 11-84-5 of this Act.
When the tax has been fully paid, the corporate authorities of the
municipality shall execute and record, in the recorder's office of the
county in which the land is located, a release of the lien of the taxes so
paid, and shall deliver a copy of the release to the owner of the property.

(65 ILCS 5/11-84-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-2)
Sec. 11-84-2.
Such an ordinance shall define the location of the proposed
sidewalk or the sidewalk to be repaired with reasonable certainty, shall
prescribe its width, the materials of which it is to be constructed and the
manner of its construction, and may provide that the materials and
construction shall be under the supervision of and subject to the approval
of an officer or board of officers of the municipality to be designated in
the ordinance.
The ordinance shall require all owners of lots, blocks, tracts, or
parcels of land touching the line of a proposed sidewalk to construct or
repair a sidewalk in front of or touching upon their respective lots,
blocks, tracts, or parcels of land in accordance with the specifications of
the ordinance, within 30 days after the mailing of notice of the passage of
the ordinance, addressed to the party who last paid the general taxes on
the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels. In default thereof the
municipality may furnish the materials and construct or repair the sidewalk
in accordance with the ordinance, or may enter into a contract for the
furnishing of the materials and the construction or repair of the sidewalk
as hereinafter provided in this Division 84. The cost of such part thereof
as may be fixed in the ordinance may be collected as hereinafter provided
in this Division 84. The municipality may issue vouchers bearing not to
exceed 6% interest annually in payment of these sidewalks, payable solely
out of the special tax provided for in this Division 84 when the tax is
collected.
