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.

Installment Payments.
(a) The flat weight tax required to be paid by Section 3-815 for any
vehicles on a calendar year basis may be paid if the owner so elects, in equal
semi-annual installments due on January 1 and July 1 of each licensing year.
Effective with the 1984 registration year the owners of semitrailers registered
under Section 3-814 shall have the option of paying the designated fees to the
Secretary in the following manner:
If registered in the first year the owner shall have the option of paying
$30 the first year and the remaining $30 by the start of the second year;
If registered in the second year the owner shall have the option of paying
$24 the first year and the remaining $24 by the start of the third year;
If registered in the third year the owner shall pay $36 for each semitrailer;
If registered in the fourth year the owner shall pay $24 for each semitrailer; and
If registered in the fifth year the owner shall pay $12 for each semitrailer.
Every such owner who elects to pay such tax in such installments shall file
with the Secretary of State a surety bond or certificate of deposit, as
hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of the second installment
of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and
with a surety company approved by the Department of Insurance to
transact business in this State, as surety, and shall be conditioned
upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The State Treasurer shall issue a certificate of deposit to any such
owner who deposits with the State Treasurer securities of the Federal
Government or the State of Illinois endorsed in blank by such owner, or
a certificate of deposit issued by any bank or savings and loan association
authorized to do business in Illinois, payable to the Secretary of State on or
after July 1 of the year of registration. Such certificate of deposit and
securities shall be approved by and deposited with the State Treasurer, and
shall have a current market value in the total amount which would cover all
monies becoming due and payable to the State of Illinois by reason of his
operation of a second division motor vehicle in this State, together with all
penalties and interest thereon.
The liability of the surety hereunder shall be absolute and upon
notice from the Secretary of State that the second installment has not
been paid on July 1 of any licensing year the surety shall immediately
pay the second installment to the Secretary of State.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment of
such owner's taxes has not been paid on July 1 of any licensing year,
the State Treasurer shall sell such securities and deliver the proceeds
thereof to the Secretary of State to satisfy all monies becoming due by
reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
If the owner's liability for the second installment is evidenced by a
certificate of deposit payable to the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of State shall, upon failure of the owner to pay the second installment
by July 1, endorse the certificate of deposit which is in the custody of
the State Treasurer, and thereafter the State Treasurer shall present
the certificate of deposit for payment to the proper bank or savings and
loan association. Upon receipt of payment, the State Treasurer shall forward
to the Secretary of State all monies due by reason of such owner's operation of
a second division motor vehicle in this State, and return the excess, if any,
to the owner on whose behalf the certificate of deposit was previously
deposited.
The State Treasurer shall return securities or proceeds in excess of
that needed to satisfy the Secretary of State for all monies becoming
due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor
vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment has
been paid, the State Treasurer shall return such certificate of deposit
or securities deposited with him under this Section to the owner
thereof.
(b) The flat weight tax required by Section 3-815 to be paid on a fiscal
year basis may be paid, if the owner so elects, in equal semi-annual
installments due on July 1st and January 1st of each registration year. From
July 1, 1983 through November 30, 1983, the flat weight tax required
by Section
3-814 for semitrailers previously registered on a fiscal year basis may be
paid, if the owner so elects, by paying the Secretary of State $33 at the time
of registration and the remaining $25 by January 1, 1985 for each 5 1/2 year
semitrailer plate. Every such owner who elects to pay such tax in such
installments shall file with the Secretary of State a surety bond or
certificate of deposit, as hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of
the second installment of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and
with a surety company approved by the Department of Insurance to
transact business in this State, as surety, and shall be conditioned
upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The liability of the surety hereunder shall be absolute and upon
notice from the Secretary of State that the second installment has not
been paid on January 1st of any registration year the surety shall
immediately pay the second installment to the Secretary of State.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment of
such owner's taxes has not been paid on January 1st of any registration
year, the State Treasurer shall sell such securities and deliver the
proceeds thereof to the Secretary of State to satisfy all monies
becoming due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division
motor vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest
thereon.
If the owner's liability for the second installment is evidenced by a
certificate of deposit payable to the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of State shall, upon failure of the owner to pay the second installment
by January 1st, endorse the certificate of deposit which is in the
custody of the State Treasurer, and thereafter the State Treasurer shall
present the certificate of deposit for payment to the proper bank or savings
and loan association. Upon receipt of payment, the State Treasurer shall
forward to the Secretary of State all monies due by reason of such owner's
operation of a second division motor vehicle in this State, and return the
excess, if any, to the owner on whose behalf the certificate of deposit was
previously deposited.
The State Treasurer shall return securities or proceeds in excess of
that needed to satisfy the Secretary of State for all monies becoming
due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor
vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment has
been paid, the State Treasurer shall return such certificate of deposit
or securities deposited with him under this Section to the owner
thereof.
(c) The flat weight tax required under Section 3-815 for vehicles
registered in accordance with Section 3-402.1 may be paid, if the owner
elects, in equal semi-annual installments due on April 1 and October 1 of
each licensing year.
(d) In the event any surety pays for any second installment under
this Section, the surety shall have recourse only against the principal
and owner of the vehicles involved and shall have no right or privilege
to demand revocation or suspension of the registration plates
or registration stickers of the vehicles involved. Such surety may, however,
impress a lien as provided in Section 3-828.

the second
division registered under Section 3-813 transporting asphalt or concrete in the

owner of the
vehicle or combination of vehicles has elected to pay, in addition to the
registration fee in subsection (a), $125 to the Secretary of State
for each
registration year. The Secretary shall designate this class of vehicle as
a Special Hauling Vehicle.
In preparing rate schedules on registration applications, the Secretary
of State shall add to the above rates, the $10 registration fee. The
Secretary may decline to accept any renewal filed after July 1st.
The number of axles necessary to carry the maximum load provided
shall be determined from Chapter 15 of this Code.
Every owner of a second division motor vehicle for which he has
elected to pay a mileage weight tax shall keep a daily record upon forms
prescribed by the Secretary of State, showing the mileage covered by
that vehicle in this State. Such record shall contain the license number
of the vehicle and the miles traveled by the vehicle in this State for
each day of the calendar month. Such owner shall also maintain records
of fuel consumed by each such motor vehicle and fuel purchases therefor.
On or before the 10th day of July the owner
shall certify to the Secretary of State upon forms prescribed therefor,
summaries of his daily records which shall show the miles traveled by
the vehicle in this State during the preceding 12 months and such other
information as the Secretary of State may require. The daily record and
fuel records shall be filed, preserved and available for audit for a
period of 3 years. Any owner filing a return hereunder shall certify
that such return is a true, correct and complete return. Any person who
willfully makes a false return hereunder is guilty of perjury and shall
be punished in the same manner and to the same extent as is provided
therefor.
At the time of filing his return, each owner shall pay to the
Secretary of State the proper amount of tax at the rate herein imposed.
Every owner of a vehicle of the second division who elects to pay on
a mileage weight tax basis and who operates the vehicle within this
State, shall file with the Secretary of State a bond in the amount of
$500. The bond shall be in a form approved by the Secretary of State and with
a surety company
approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance to transact
business in this State as surety, and shall be conditioned upon such
applicant's paying to the State of Illinois all money becoming
due by
reason of the operation of the second division vehicle in this State,
together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice from the Secretary that the registrant has failed to pay the
excess mileage fees, the surety shall immediately pay the fees together with
any penalties and interest thereon in an amount not to exceed the limits of the
bond.
(b) Beginning January 1, 2016, upon the request of the
vehicle owner, a $10 surcharge shall be collected in addition
to the above fees for vehicles in the 12,000 lbs. and less mileage
weight plate category as described in subsection (a) to be
deposited into the Secretary of State Special License Plate
Fund. The $10 surcharge is to identify vehicles in the 12,000
lbs. and less mileage weight plate category as a covered farm
vehicle. The $10 surcharge is an annual flat fee that shall be
based on an applicant's new or existing registration year for
each vehicle in the 12,000 lbs. and less mileage weight plate
category. A designation as a covered farm vehicle under this
subsection (b) shall not alter a vehicle's registration as a
registration in the 12,000 lbs. or less mileage weight category.
The Secretary shall adopt any rules necessary to implement this
subsection (b).

in addition to the fee or tax due and owing for all dishonored payments.
If the total amount then due and owing exceeds the sum of $100 and
has not been paid in full within 60 days from the date the dishonored payment was first delivered to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall
assess a penalty of 25% of such amount remaining unpaid.
All amounts payable under this Section shall be computed to the

(d) The minimum fee and tax to be paid by any applicant for

625 ILCS 5/3-821.2 (625 ILCS 5/3-821.2) Sec. 3-821.2. Delinquent registration renewal fee. (a) For registration renewal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Secretary of State may impose a delinquent registration renewal fee of $20 for the registration renewal of all passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if the application for registration renewal is received by the Secretary more than one month after the expiration of the most recent period during which the vehicle was registered. If a delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary shall not renew the registration of such a vehicle until the delinquent registration renewal fee has been paid, in addition to any other registration fees owed for the vehicle. Active duty military personnel stationed outside of Illinois shall not be required to pay the delinquent registration renewal fee. If a delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary shall adopt rules for the implementation of this Section. All fees collected under this Section shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall not impose a delinquent registration renewal fee for the registration renewal of passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if a vehicle's registration expires during a period of time in which the Secretary is not sending registration renewal notices to owners of all of those vehicles with registration expiring at the same time as the applicable vehicle. It shall be an affirmative defense to a citation for an expired registration issued by any local, county, municipal, or State law enforcement agency within one month after the expiration of vehicle registration, that the expiration occurred during a period of time in which the Secretary was not sending registration renewal notices to owners of all passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds with registration expiring at the same time as the applicable vehicle. A computer print-out of a page from the Secretary of State's official website setting forth the calendar months in which registration renewal notices were not sent to all owners of passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds shall be admissible as evidence to establish the affirmative defense. The computer print-out shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the information contained in it. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly apply only to vehicle registrations that expire on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly. The provisions of this subsection (b), other than this sentence, are inoperative on and after June 30, 2017. (Source: P.A. 99-127, eff. 1-1-16; 99-887, eff. 8-25-16.) |

(625 ILCS 5/3-824) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-824)
Sec. 3-824. When fees returnable.
(a) Whenever any application
to the Secretary of State is accompanied by any fee as required by
law and such application is refused or rejected, said fee shall
be returned to said applicant.
(b) Whenever the Secretary of State collects any
fee not required to be paid under the provisions of this Act,
the same shall be refunded to the person paying the same upon
application therefor made within 6 months after the date of
such payment, except as follows: (1) whenever a
refund is determined to be due and
owing as a result of an audit, by this State or any other state or province,
in accordance with Section 2-124 of this Code, of a prorate or apportion
license fee payment pursuant to any reciprocal compact or agreement
between this State and any other state or province, and the Secretary for
any reason fails to promptly make such refund, the licensee shall have one
year from the date of the notification of the audit result to file, with
the Secretary, an application for refund found to be due and owing as a
result of such audit; and (2) whenever a person eligible for a reduced
registration fee pursuant to Section
3-806.3 of this Code has paid in excess of the reduced registration fee
owed, the refund applicant shall have 2 years from the date of overpayment
to apply with the Secretary for a refund of that part of payment made in
excess of the established reduced registration fee.
(c) Whenever a person dies after making application for
registration, application for a refund of the registration
fees and taxes may be made if the vehicle is then sold or
disposed of so that the registration plates or digital registration plates, registration
sticker or digital registration sticker and card are never used. The Secretary of State shall
refund the registration fees and taxes upon receipt within 6
months after the application for registration of an application
for refund accompanied with the unused registration plates or digital registration plates or
registration sticker or digital registration sticker and card and proof of both the death of
the applicant and the sale or disposition of the vehicle.
(d) Any application for refund received after the times
specified in this Section shall be denied and the applicant
in order to receive a refund must apply to the Court of Claims.
(d-5) Refunds may be granted for any title-related transaction if a title application has not been processed by the Secretary of State. If any application for a certificate of title under Section 3-104 or salvage title under Section 3-118 is verified by the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS), and receives a warning or error from the NMVTIS reporting that the vehicle requires either a salvage certificate or a junk certificate in lieu of the original applied certificate of title or salvage title, then the applicant shall have 6 months to apply for a refund of cost, or the difference of the certificate of title or salvage certificate. (e) The Secretary of State is authorized to maintain a two
signature revolving checking account with a suitable commercial
bank for the purpose of depositing
and withdrawal-for-return those monies received and determined
upon receipt to be in excess of the amount or amounts required by law.
(f) Refunds on audits performed by Illinois or another member of the
International Registration Plan shall be made in accordance with the procedures
as set forth in the agreement.

Sec. 3-828.
Lien for violations.
Any vehicle used in violation of the provision of this Act shall be
subject to a lien for the full amount of all unpaid registration fees, flat
weight taxes, and penalties. Such lien shall not release the offender from
the full payment of all such fees, taxes, penalties and damages. The lien
shall attach at the time of operation of any such vehicle within this State
and shall remain effective until all unpaid registration fees, flat weight
taxes, penalties and audit fees are paid, or until the vehicle is sold for
the payment thereof. Such liens shall be superior to any other lien except
that:
(a) no lien for any amounts due or assessed pursuant to this Section
shall be enforceable against any vehicle which prior to such assessment had
been transferred in good faith to a bona fide transferee for value;
(b) the lien of any amounts due or assessed shall be subject to a prior
lien of any indebtedness existing against such vehicle which is noted on
the certificate of title of such vehicle issued under this Act, or as to a
vehicle from another jurisdiction, if written notice thereof is filed with
the Secretary of State before such lien becomes operative and if
(1) Such prior indebtedness was incurred in good faith to secure all or
a portion of the purchase price of such vehicle, and
(2) Such prior indebtedness is secured by a chattel mortgage or
conditional sales agreement duly filed or perfected in this State pursuant
to law and such chattel mortgage or conditional sales was not given
directly or indirectly, to any officer, director or shareholder of a
corporation, or to a partner of a partnership, or to a trustee or
beneficiary of a trust, owning or having the lawful use or control of such
vehicle, whether as a purchase money mortgage or otherwise.
The lien imposed under this Section shall be enforceable as to any
equity after the encumbrance of any such chattel mortgage or conditional
sales contract, and in the event any such vehicle subject to a lien
hereunder is repossessed by a chattel mortgagee or a conditional vendor,
such vehicle shall not be sold at any public or private sale unless at
least 5 days written notice by registered mail is served upon the Secretary
of State.
The Secretary of State, upon perfecting a prior lien hereunder for any
flat weight taxes required to be paid under Section 3-815 may in his
discretion waive the requirement for the surety bond specified in Section
3-816, providing that the said prior lien is so noted on the certificate of
title for such vehicle or vehicles.
Any surety making payment of a second installment of taxes under Section
3-816 of this Act, may impress a lien similar to that of the Secretary of
State, and such lien may be noted on title records and documents. The
surety shall, however, pay any statutory fees therefor.
