|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Sections 11-74.4-7 and 11-74.4-8 as follows:
| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7)
| 7 | | Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax | 8 | | allocation fund
set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the | 9 | | redevelopment project area may be
issued to provide for | 10 | | redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when
so issued, | 11 | | shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
| 12 | | authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of | 13 | | taxes
levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the | 14 | | taxable property
included in the area, by revenues as specified | 15 | | by Section 11-74.4-8a and
other revenue designated by the | 16 | | municipality. A municipality may in the
ordinance pledge all or | 17 | | any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the
special tax | 18 | | allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
| 19 | | payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any | 20 | | pledge of
funds in the special tax allocation fund shall | 21 | | provide for distribution to
the taxing districts and to the | 22 | | Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys
not required, pledged, | 23 | | earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and
securing of |
| | | HB4210 | - 2 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs | 2 | | and
such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed | 3 | | to be "surplus"
funds. In the event a municipality only applies | 4 | | or pledges a portion of the
funds in the special tax allocation | 5 | | fund for the payment or securing of
anticipated redevelopment | 6 | | project costs or of obligations, any such funds
remaining in | 7 | | the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
| 8 | | requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be | 9 | | calculated annually
and deemed "surplus" funds. In | 10 | | municipalities with less than 1,000,000 inhabitants, all All | 11 | | surplus funds in the special tax allocation
fund shall be | 12 | | distributed annually within 180 days after the close of the
| 13 | | municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the
municipal | 14 | | treasurer to the County Collector, to the Department of Revenue
| 15 | | and to the municipality in direct proportion to the tax | 16 | | incremental revenue
received as a result of an increase in the | 17 | | equalized assessed value of
property in the redevelopment | 18 | | project area, tax incremental revenue
received from the State | 19 | | and tax incremental revenue received from the
municipality, but | 20 | | not to exceed as to each such source the total
incremental | 21 | | revenue received from that source. The County Collector shall
| 22 | | thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing | 23 | | districts in the same
manner and proportion as the most recent | 24 | | distribution by the county
collector to the affected districts | 25 | | of real property taxes from real
property in the redevelopment | 26 | | project area. In municipalities with 1,000,000 or more |
| | | HB4210 | - 3 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | inhabitants, all surplus funds in the special tax allocation | 2 | | fund shall be distributed annually within 180 days after the | 3 | | close of the municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the | 4 | | municipal treasurer to any public school district operating | 5 | | under general school law in the municipality. If there are 2 or | 6 | | more school districts operating under general school law in the | 7 | | municipality, the funds shall be disbursed proportionately to | 8 | | the number of students enrolled in each district. No special | 9 | | charter districts shall receive surplus funds under this | 10 | | subsection.
| 11 | | Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the | 12 | | municipality may in
addition to obligations secured by the | 13 | | special tax allocation fund pledge
for a period not greater | 14 | | than the term of the obligations towards payment
of such | 15 | | obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a) | 16 | | net
revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b) | 17 | | taxes levied and
collected on any or all property in the | 18 | | municipality; (c) the full faith
and credit of the | 19 | | municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
| 20 | | redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated | 21 | | receipts that
the municipality may lawfully pledge.
| 22 | | Such obligations may be issued in one or more series | 23 | | bearing interest at
such rate or rates as the corporate | 24 | | authorities of the municipality shall
determine by ordinance. | 25 | | Such obligations shall bear such date or dates,
mature at such | 26 | | time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
|
| | | HB4210 | - 4 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration | 2 | | privileges, be executed
in such manner, be payable in such | 3 | | medium of payment at such place or places,
contain such | 4 | | covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
| 5 | | as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to | 6 | | this Act
may be sold at public or private sale at such price as | 7 | | shall be determined
by the corporate authorities of the | 8 | | municipalities. No referendum approval
of the electors shall be | 9 | | required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
pursuant | 10 | | to this Division except as provided in this Section.
| 11 | | In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of | 12 | | obligations pursuant
to the authority of this Division secured | 13 | | by the full faith and credit of
the municipality, which | 14 | | obligations are other than obligations which may
be issued | 15 | | under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of | 16 | | the
Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or | 17 | | (c) of the second
paragraph of this section, the ordinance | 18 | | authorizing the issuance of such
obligations or pledging such | 19 | | taxes shall be published within 10 days after
such ordinance | 20 | | has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
| 21 | | circulation within such municipality. The publication of the | 22 | | ordinance
shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific | 23 | | number of voters
required to sign a petition requesting the | 24 | | question of the issuance of such
obligations or pledging taxes | 25 | | to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time
in which such | 26 | | petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
|
| | | HB4210 | - 5 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form | 2 | | to any
individual requesting one.
| 3 | | If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as | 4 | | hereinafter provided
in this Section, within 30 days after the | 5 | | publication of the ordinance,
the ordinance shall be in effect. | 6 | | But, if within that 30 day period a petition
is filed with the | 7 | | municipal clerk, signed by electors in the
municipality | 8 | | numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
| 9 | | municipality, asking that the question of issuing
obligations | 10 | | using full faith and credit of the municipality as security
for | 11 | | the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of | 12 | | pledging taxes
for the payment of such obligations, or both, be | 13 | | submitted to the electors
of the municipality, the corporate | 14 | | authorities of the municipality shall
call a special election | 15 | | in the manner provided by law to vote upon that
question, or, | 16 | | if a general, State or municipal election is to be held within
| 17 | | a period of not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date | 18 | | such petition
is filed, shall submit the question at the next | 19 | | general, State or municipal
election. If it appears upon the | 20 | | canvass of the election by the corporate
authorities that a | 21 | | majority of electors voting upon the question voted in
favor | 22 | | thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of | 23 | | the
electors voting upon the question are not in favor thereof, | 24 | | the ordinance
shall not take effect.
| 25 | | The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that | 26 | | the obligations
shall contain a recital that they are issued |
| | | HB4210 | - 6 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | pursuant to this Division,
which recital shall be conclusive | 2 | | evidence of their validity and of the
regularity of their | 3 | | issuance.
| 4 | | In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of | 5 | | obligations pursuant
to this Section secured by the full faith | 6 | | and credit of the municipality,
the ordinance authorizing the | 7 | | obligations may provide for the levy and
collection of a direct | 8 | | annual tax upon all taxable property within the
municipality | 9 | | sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon
as | 10 | | it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of | 11 | | the
maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the | 12 | | municipality,
which levy, however, shall be abated to the | 13 | | extent that monies from other
sources are available for payment | 14 | | of the obligations and the municipality
certifies the amount of | 15 | | said monies available to the county clerk.
| 16 | | A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the | 17 | | county clerk
of each county in which any portion of the | 18 | | municipality is situated, and
shall constitute the authority | 19 | | for the extension and collection of the taxes
to be deposited | 20 | | in the special tax allocation fund.
| 21 | | A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in | 22 | | whole or in
part, obligations theretofore issued by such | 23 | | municipality under the authority
of this Act, whether at or | 24 | | prior to maturity, provided however, that the
last maturity of | 25 | | the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set | 26 | | forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
|
| | | HB4210 | - 7 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | In the event a municipality issues obligations under home | 2 | | rule powers or
other legislative authority the proceeds of | 3 | | which are pledged to pay
for redevelopment project costs, the | 4 | | municipality may, if it has followed
the procedures in | 5 | | conformance with this division, retire said obligations
from | 6 | | funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such | 7 | | manner
as if such obligations had been issued pursuant to the | 8 | | provisions of this
division.
| 9 | | All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to | 10 | | this Act shall
not be regarded as indebtedness of the | 11 | | municipality issuing such obligations
or any other taxing | 12 | | district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.

| 21 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-8)
(from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-8)
| 22 | | Sec. 11-74.4-8. Tax increment allocation financing. A | 23 | | municipality may
not adopt tax increment financing in a
| 24 | | redevelopment
project area after the effective date of this | 25 | | amendatory Act of 1997 that will
encompass an area that is |
| | | HB4210 | - 8 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | currently included in an enterprise zone created
under the | 2 | | Illinois Enterprise Zone Act unless that municipality, | 3 | | pursuant to
Section 5.4 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, | 4 | | amends the enterprise zone
designating ordinance to limit the | 5 | | eligibility for tax abatements as provided
in Section 5.4.1 of | 6 | | the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
A municipality, at the time a | 7 | | redevelopment project area
is designated, may adopt tax | 8 | | increment allocation financing by passing an
ordinance | 9 | | providing that the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the
| 10 | | levies upon taxable real property in such redevelopment project
| 11 | | area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner | 12 | | provided
in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 each year after | 13 | | the effective
date of the ordinance until redevelopment project | 14 | | costs and all municipal
obligations financing redevelopment | 15 | | project costs incurred under this Division
have been paid shall | 16 | | be divided as follows:
| 17 | | (a) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot, | 18 | | block, tract or
parcel of real property which is attributable | 19 | | to the lower of the current
equalized assessed value or the | 20 | | initial equalized assessed
value of each such taxable lot, | 21 | | block, tract or parcel of real property
in the redevelopment | 22 | | project area shall be allocated to and when collected
shall be | 23 | | paid by the county collector to the respective affected taxing
| 24 | | districts in the manner required by law in the absence of the | 25 | | adoption of
tax increment allocation financing.
| 26 | | (b) Except from a tax levied by a township to retire bonds |
| | | HB4210 | - 9 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | issued to satisfy
court-ordered damages, that portion, if any, | 2 | | of such taxes which is
attributable to the
increase in the | 3 | | current equalized assessed valuation of each taxable lot,
| 4 | | block, tract or parcel of real property in the redevelopment | 5 | | project area
over and above the initial equalized assessed | 6 | | value of each property in the
project area shall be allocated | 7 | | to and when collected shall be paid to the
municipal treasurer | 8 | | who shall deposit said taxes into a special fund called
the | 9 | | special tax allocation fund of the municipality for the purpose | 10 | | of
paying redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred | 11 | | in the payment
thereof. In any county with a population of | 12 | | 3,000,000 or more that has adopted
a procedure for collecting | 13 | | taxes that provides for one or more of the
installments of the | 14 | | taxes to be billed and collected on an estimated basis,
the | 15 | | municipal treasurer shall be paid for deposit in the special | 16 | | tax
allocation fund of the municipality, from the taxes | 17 | | collected from
estimated bills issued for property in the | 18 | | redevelopment project area, the
difference between the amount | 19 | | actually collected from each taxable lot,
block, tract, or | 20 | | parcel of real property within the redevelopment project
area | 21 | | and an amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes | 22 | | were
last extended against the taxable lot, block, track, or | 23 | | parcel of real
property in the manner provided in subsection | 24 | | (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 by
the initial equalized assessed | 25 | | value of the property divided by the number
of installments in | 26 | | which real estate taxes are billed and collected within
the |
| | | HB4210 | - 10 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | county; provided that the payments on or before December 31,
| 2 | | 1999 to a municipal treasurer shall be made only if each of the | 3 | | following
conditions are met:
| 4 | | (1) The total equalized assessed value of the | 5 | | redevelopment project
area as last determined was not less | 6 | | than 175% of the total initial
equalized assessed value.
| 7 | | (2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized assessed | 8 | | value of the
redevelopment project area as last determined | 9 | | is attributable to a piece of
property assigned a single | 10 | | real estate index number.
| 11 | | (3) The municipal clerk has certified to the county | 12 | | clerk that the
municipality has issued its obligations to | 13 | | which there has been pledged
the incremental property taxes | 14 | | of the redevelopment project area or taxes
levied and | 15 | | collected on any or all property in the municipality or
the | 16 | | full faith and credit of the municipality to pay or secure | 17 | | payment for
all or a portion of the redevelopment project | 18 | | costs. The certification
shall be filed annually no later | 19 | | than September 1 for the estimated taxes
to be distributed | 20 | | in the following year; however, for the year 1992 the
| 21 | | certification shall be made at any time on or before March | 22 | | 31, 1992.
| 23 | | (4) The municipality has not requested that the total | 24 | | initial
equalized assessed value of real property be | 25 | | adjusted as provided in
subsection (b) of Section | 26 | | 11-74.4-9.
|
| | | HB4210 | - 11 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | The conditions of paragraphs (1) through (4) do not apply | 2 | | after December
31, 1999 to payments to a municipal treasurer
| 3 | | made by a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that has | 4 | | adopted an
estimated billing procedure for collecting taxes.
If | 5 | | a county that has adopted the estimated billing
procedure makes | 6 | | an erroneous overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal
| 7 | | treasurer, then the county may seek a refund of that | 8 | | overpayment.
The county shall send the municipal treasurer a | 9 | | notice of liability for the
overpayment on or before the | 10 | | mailing date of the next real estate tax bill
within the | 11 | | county. The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
| 12 | | overpayment.
| 13 | | It is the intent of this Division that after the effective | 14 | | date of this
amendatory Act of 1988 a municipality's own ad | 15 | | valorem
tax arising from levies on taxable real property be | 16 | | included in the
determination of incremental revenue in the | 17 | | manner provided in paragraph
(c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the | 18 | | municipality does not extend such a tax,
it shall annually | 19 | | deposit in the municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund
an | 20 | | amount equal to 10% of the total contributions to the fund from | 21 | | all
other taxing districts in that year. The annual 10% deposit | 22 | | required by
this paragraph shall be limited to the actual | 23 | | amount of municipally
produced incremental tax revenues | 24 | | available to the municipality from
taxpayers located in the | 25 | | redevelopment project area in that year if:
(a) the plan for | 26 | | the area restricts the use of the property primarily to
|
| | | HB4210 | - 12 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | industrial purposes, (b) the municipality establishing the | 2 | | redevelopment
project area is a home-rule community with a 1990 | 3 | | population of between
25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality | 4 | | is wholly located within a county
with a 1990 population of | 5 | | over 750,000 and (d) the redevelopment project
area was | 6 | | established by the municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This
| 7 | | payment shall be in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes | 8 | | on real
property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment | 9 | | project area of the
municipality shall be dissolved.
| 10 | | If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation | 11 | | financing by ordinance
and the County Clerk thereafter | 12 | | certifies the "total initial equalized assessed
value as | 13 | | adjusted" of the taxable real property within such | 14 | | redevelopment
project area in the manner provided in paragraph | 15 | | (b) of Section 11-74.4-9,
each year after the date of the | 16 | | certification of the total initial equalized
assessed value as | 17 | | adjusted until redevelopment project costs and all
municipal | 18 | | obligations financing redevelopment project costs have been | 19 | | paid
the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon | 20 | | the taxable real
property in such redevelopment project area by | 21 | | taxing districts and tax
rates determined in the manner | 22 | | provided in paragraph (c) of Section
11-74.4-9 shall be divided | 23 | | as follows:
| 24 | | (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable | 25 | | lot, block, tract
or parcel of real property which is | 26 | | attributable to the lower of the
current equalized assessed |
| | | HB4210 | - 13 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | value or "current equalized assessed value as
adjusted" or | 2 | | the initial equalized assessed value of each such taxable | 3 | | lot,
block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at | 4 | | the time tax increment
financing was adopted, minus the | 5 | | total current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of the | 6 | | Property
Tax Code in the
redevelopment project area shall | 7 | | be allocated to and when collected shall be
paid by the | 8 | | county collector to the respective affected taxing | 9 | | districts in the
manner required by law in the absence of | 10 | | the adoption of tax increment
allocation financing.
| 11 | | (2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is | 12 | | attributable to the
increase in the current equalized | 13 | | assessed valuation of each taxable lot,
block, tract, or | 14 | | parcel of real property in the redevelopment project area,
| 15 | | over and above the initial equalized assessed value of each | 16 | | property
existing at the time tax increment financing was | 17 | | adopted, minus the total
current homestead exemptions | 18 | | pertaining to each piece of property provided
by Article 15 | 19 | | of the Property Tax Code
in the redevelopment
project area, | 20 | | shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid to | 21 | | the
municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said taxes into | 22 | | a special fund called
the special tax allocation fund of | 23 | | the municipality for the purpose of paying
redevelopment | 24 | | project costs and obligations incurred in the payment | 25 | | thereof.
| 26 | | The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds in |
| | | HB4210 | - 14 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | and to be
deposited in the special tax allocation fund for the | 2 | | payment of such costs
and obligations. No part of the current | 3 | | equalized assessed valuation of
each property in the | 4 | | redevelopment project area attributable to any
increase above | 5 | | the total initial equalized assessed value, or the total
| 6 | | initial equalized assessed value as adjusted, of such | 7 | | properties shall be
used in calculating the general State | 8 | | school aid formula, provided for in
Section 18-8 of the School | 9 | | Code, until such time as all redevelopment
project costs have | 10 | | been paid as provided for in this Section.
| 11 | | Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of | 12 | | financing
redevelopment project costs, such municipality may | 13 | | provide by ordinance for the
appointment of a trustee, which | 14 | | may be any trust company within the State,
and for the | 15 | | establishment of such funds or accounts to be maintained by
| 16 | | such trustee as the municipality shall deem necessary to | 17 | | provide for the
security and payment of the bonds. If such | 18 | | municipality provides for
the appointment of a trustee, such | 19 | | trustee shall be considered the assignee
of any payments | 20 | | assigned by the municipality pursuant to such ordinance
and | 21 | | this Section. Any amounts paid to such trustee as assignee | 22 | | shall be
deposited in the funds or accounts established | 23 | | pursuant to such trust
agreement, and shall be held by such | 24 | | trustee in trust for the benefit of the
holders of the bonds, | 25 | | and such holders shall have a lien on and a security
interest | 26 | | in such funds or accounts so long as the bonds remain |
| | | HB4210 | - 15 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | outstanding and
unpaid. Upon retirement of the bonds, the | 2 | | trustee shall pay over any excess
amounts held to the | 3 | | municipality for deposit in the special tax allocation
fund.
| 4 | | In municipalities with less than 1,000,000 inhabitants, | 5 | | when When such redevelopment projects costs, including without | 6 | | limitation all
municipal obligations financing redevelopment | 7 | | project costs incurred under
this Division, have been paid, all | 8 | | surplus funds then remaining in the
special tax allocation fund | 9 | | shall be distributed
by being paid by the
municipal treasurer | 10 | | to the Department of Revenue, the municipality and the
county | 11 | | collector; first to the Department of Revenue and the | 12 | | municipality
in direct proportion to the tax incremental | 13 | | revenue received from the State
and the municipality, but not | 14 | | to exceed the total incremental revenue received
from the State | 15 | | or the municipality less any annual surplus distribution
of | 16 | | incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining funds | 17 | | to be paid
to the County Collector who shall immediately | 18 | | thereafter pay said funds to
the taxing districts in the | 19 | | redevelopment project area in the same manner
and proportion as | 20 | | the most recent distribution by the county collector to
the | 21 | | affected districts of real property taxes from real property in | 22 | | the
redevelopment project area. In municipalities with | 23 | | 1,000,000 or more inhabitants, all surplus funds in the special | 24 | | tax allocation fund shall be distributed annually within 180 | 25 | | days after the close of the municipality's fiscal year by being | 26 | | paid by the municipal treasurer to any public school district |

| 1 | | operating under general school law in the municipality. If | 2 | | there are 2 or more school districts operating under general | 3 | | school law in the municipality, the funds shall be disbursed | 4 | | proportionately to the number of students enrolled in each | 5 | | district. No special charter districts shall receive surplus | 6 | | funds under this subsection.
| 7 | | Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs, the | 8 | | retirement of
obligations, the distribution of any excess | 9 | | monies pursuant to this
Section, and final closing of the books | 10 | | and records of the redevelopment
project
area, the municipality | 11 | | shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special
tax allocation | 12 | | fund for the redevelopment project area and terminating the
| 13 | | designation of the redevelopment project area as a | 14 | | redevelopment project
area.
Title to real or personal property | 15 | | and public improvements
acquired
by or for
the
municipality as | 16 | | a result of the redevelopment project and plan shall vest in
| 17 | | the
municipality when acquired and shall continue to be held by | 18 | | the municipality
after the redevelopment project area has been | 19 | | terminated.
Municipalities shall notify affected taxing | 20 | | districts prior to
November 1 if the redevelopment project area | 21 | | is to be terminated by December 31
of
that same year. If a | 22 | | municipality extends estimated dates of completion of a
| 23 | | redevelopment project and retirement of obligations to finance | 24 | | a
redevelopment project, as allowed by this amendatory Act of | 25 | | 1993, that
extension shall not extend the property tax | 26 | | increment allocation financing
authorized by this Section. |
| | | HB4210 | - 17 - | LRB098 14272 JLK 50829 b |
|
| 1 | | Thereafter the rates of the taxing districts
shall be extended | 2 | | and taxes levied, collected and distributed in the manner
| 3 | | applicable in the absence of the adoption of tax increment | 4 | | allocation
financing.
| 5 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving | 6 | | property in such
redevelopment project areas from being | 7 | | assessed as provided in the Property
Tax Code or as relieving | 8 | | owners of such property from paying a uniform rate of
taxes, as | 9 | | required by Section 4 of Article IX of the Illinois | 10 | | Constitution.
