4census of the county.
5    (b) Elected supervisors of assessments who began a term of

16    Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance.
17Any assessor in counties with less than 3,000,000 but more than
1850,000 inhabitants each year may petition the Department to
19receive additional compensation based on performance. To
20receive additional compensation, the official's assessment
21jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:
22        (1) the median level of assessment must be no more than
23    35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of
24    property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and
25        (2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater

 

 

HB3595- 4 -LRB101 07506 AWJ 52550 b

1    than 15%.
2For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" means
3the average deviation of all assessments from the median level.
4For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants shall
5be determined by the latest federal decennial census. When the
6most recent census shows an increase in inhabitants to over
750,000 or a decrease to 50,000 or fewer, then the assessment
8year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion and the most
9recent year of the 3-year average level of assessments is the
10year that determines qualification for additional
11compensation. The Department will promulgate rules and
12regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these
13criteria.
14    Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants may
15petition the Department for consideration to receive
16additional compensation each year based on performance. In
17order to receive the additional compensation, the assessments
18in the official's assessment jurisdiction must meet the
19following criteria: (i) the median level of assessments must be
20no more than 35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value
21of property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and (ii) the
22coefficient of dispersion must not be greater than 40% in 1994,
2338% in 1995, 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in 1998, and 30% in
241999 and every year thereafter.
25    Real estate transfer declarations used by the Department in
26annual sales-assessment ratio studies will be used to evaluate

 

 

HB3595- 5 -LRB101 07506 AWJ 52550 b

1applications for additional compensation. The Department will
2audit other property to determine if the sales-assessment ratio
3study data is representative of the assessment jurisdiction. If
4the ratio study is found not representative, appraisals and
5other information may be utilized. If the ratio study is
6representative, upon certification by the Department, the
7assessor shall receive additional compensation of $3,000 for
8that year, to be paid out of funds appropriated to the
9Department from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund.
10    In counties with a population greater than 500,000, no
11additional compensation shall be paid to assessors whose terms
12of office begin on or after the effective date of this
13amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
