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.
(35 ILCS 200/10-160)
Sec. 10-160. Open space; application process. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the person liable for taxes
on land used for open space purposes must file a verified application
requesting the additional open space valuation with the chief county assessment
officer by January 31 of each year for which that valuation is desired. For taxable years prior to 2011, in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the person liable for taxes
on land used for open space purposes must file a verified application
requesting the additional open space valuation with the chief county assessment
officer by January 31 of each year for which that valuation is desired. For taxable year 2011 and thereafter, in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the person liable for taxes
on land used for open space purposes must file a verified application
requesting the additional open space valuation with the chief county assessment
officer by June 30 of each year for which that valuation is desired. If the
application is not filed by January 31 or June 30, as applicable, the taxpayer waives the right to claim
that additional valuation for that year. The application shall be in the form
prescribed by the Department and contain information as may reasonably be
required to determine whether the applicant meets the requirements of Section
10-155. If the application shows the applicant is entitled to the valuation,
the chief county assessment officer shall approve it; otherwise, the
application shall be rejected.
When such an application has been filed with and approved by the chief county
assessment officer, he or she shall determine the valuation of the land as
otherwise permitted by law and as required under Section 10-155, and shall list
those valuations separately. The county clerk, in preparing assessment books,
lists and blanks under Section 9-100, shall include therein columns for
indicating the approval of an application and for setting out the two separate
valuations.
