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 5/11-76-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-76-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-76-1)
Sec. 11-76-1.
Any city or village incorporated under any general or special
law which acquires or holds any real estate for any purpose whatsoever,
except real estate granted to a municipality as commons by a grant which
has been confirmed by the government of the United States, has the power to
lease the real estate for any term not exceeding 99 years, and to convey
the real estate when, in the opinion of the corporate authorities, the real
estate is no longer necessary, appropriate, required for the use of,
profitable to, or for the best interests of the city or village. This power
shall be exercised by an ordinance passed by three-fourths of the corporate
authorities of the city or village then holding office, at any regular
meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose. However, the
corporate authorities have the power to authorize any municipal officer to
make leases for terms not exceeding 2 years in such manner as they may
determine. The disposition of real estate acquired pursuant to Section 6 of
the "Urban Community Conservation Act", approved July 13, 1953, as
heretofore and hereafter amended, and acquired pursuant to Sections 12,
22 and 31 of the "Urban Renewal Consolidation Act of 1961", enacted by the
Seventy-Second General Assembly, and acquired pursuant to Division 11-11
by a municipality as the Local Public Agency under an urban renewal project
as defined therein, shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.

65 ILCS 5/11-76-2
(65 ILCS 5/11-76-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-76-2)
Sec. 11-76-2.
An ordinance directing a sale, or a lease of real estate for
any term in excess of 20 years, shall specify the location of the real
estate, the use thereof, and such conditions with respect to further use of
the real estate as the corporate authorities may deem necessary and
desirable to the public interest. Before the corporate authorities of a
city or village make a sale, by virtue of such an ordinance, notice of the
proposal to sell shall be published once each week for 3 successive weeks
in a daily or weekly paper published in the city or village, or if there is
none, then in some paper published in the county in which the city or
village is located. The first publication shall be not less than 30 days
before the day provided in the notice for the opening of bids for the real
estate. The notice shall contain an accurate description of the property,
state the purpose for which it is used and at what meeting the bids will be
considered and opened, and shall advertise for bids therefor. All such bids
shall be opened only at a regular meeting of the corporate authorities. The
corporate authorities may accept the high bid or any other bid determined
to be in the best interest of the city or village by a vote of 3/4 of the
corporate authorities then holding office, but by a majority vote of those
holding office, they may reject any and all bids. The consideration for
such a sale may include but need not be limited to the provision of
off-street parking facilities by the purchaser, which parking facilities
may be made part of the municipal parking system. Such consideration also
may include the provision of other public facilities by the purchaser.
Before the corporate authorities of the city or village make a lease of
real estate for a term in excess of 20 years, they shall give notice of
intent to adopt such an ordinance. The notice must be published at least
once in a daily or weekly newspaper published in the city or village, and
if there is none, then in some paper published in the county in which the
city or village is located. The publication must be not less than 15 nor
more than 30 days before the date on which it is proposed to adopt such an
ordinance. The notice must contain an accurate description of the property,
state the purpose for which it is used and the restrictions upon the
proposed use of the property to be leased. The corporate authorities may
negotiate the consideration and terms of such lease. Such consideration may
include the provision of off-street parking facilities by the lessee, which
parking facilities may be made part of the municipal parking system. Such
consideration also may include the provision of other public facilities by
the lessee on the real estate acquired. The corporate authorities may
contract with the lessee for the use of a portion of a structure or
improvement to be constructed on the real estate leased.
If such real estate is utilized in part for private use and in part for
public use, those portions of the improvements devoted to private use are
fully taxable. The land shall be exempt from taxation to the extent that
the uses thereon are public and taxable to the extent that the uses are
private. The taxable portion of the land is that percentage of the land's
total assessed valuation that the private development thereon bears to the
total development thereon. Nothing in this Section prevents the corporate
authorities from determining to sell or lease such property to the highest
responsible bidder. The corporate authorities may provide by ordinance for
the procedure to be followed in securing bids for the sale or lease of the
subject property. The disposition of real estate acquired pursuant to (a)
Section 6 of the "Urban Community Conservation Act", approved July 13,
1953, as now or hereafter amended, (b) Sections 12, 22 and 31 of the "Urban
Renewal Consolidation Act of 1961", approved August 15, 1961, as now or
hereafter amended, or (c) Division 11 of this Article by a municipality as
the Local Public Agency under an urban renewal program as defined therein,
is exempt from the requirements of this Section. Additionally, leases to
persons or corporations of municipally-owned or operated airport lands,
buildings, structures or other facilities for the shelter, servicing,
manufacturing and repair of aircraft, aircraft parts or accessories, or for
receiving and discharging passengers and, or cargo, are exempt from the
requirements of this Section.

When the ordinance has been adopted and the consideration
paid or secured, as provided in Section 11-76-2, the mayor, or president,

proper deed of conveyance, stating therein the consideration therefor, with
the seal of the city or village.
