Undeveloped coal.
All undeveloped coal in property on which
there has been no mining during the year immediately preceding the assessment
date shall for the purposes of this Code have an undeveloped coal reserve
economic value of no more than $75 per acre. There shall be no per acre

Sec. 10-180.
Developed coal.
Developed coal shall be assessed at 33 1/3% of
the developed coal reserve economic value determined as follows:
Developed Coal Reserve Economic Value equals the present value of the
anticipated net income from the property during the life used to determine
the developed coal.
(a) The interest rate to be used for determining present value shall be
the arithmetic average prime interest rate quoted by the 4 largest United
States banks as measured by total assets located within the Chicago
metropolitan statistical area as defined by the United States Department of
Commerce as of the current assessment date and the 2 preceding assessment
dates, plus 3%.
(b) Net income means 4% of the average spot market price for
Illinois coal as published in a recognized publication prescribed by the
Department, as of the current assessment date and the 2 preceding assessment
dates, multiplied by the number of recoverable tons per acre.
(c) Recoverable coal tons per acre equals 1,742 tons per foot acre
multiplied by seam thickness, and then multiplied by the recovery ratio.
(d) Coal seam thickness means the average thickness of the coal seam or
seams where coal is initially extracted.
(e) Recovery ratio means the lesser of 80% for coal extracted
by surface mining methods and 50% for coal extracted by
underground mining methods or the actual historical recovery ratio for the
mining operation.
(f) The total assessed value of developed coal shall be attributed
equally to the coal acreage that is anticipated to be mined.
(g) Change in the per acre assessed value of coal shall not
exceed 10% in any one year except when a change of acreage classification
occurs.

Prorated assessment.
When initial mining commences after the
assessment date, or when all mining ceases prior to the end of a calendar year,
the coal as assessed pursuant to Section 10-180 shall be assessed on a
proportionate basis in accordance with Section 9-180. For purposes of this
Section any permitted acreage that is to be mined during the current year which
is not included in the anticipated 5 year mine acreage due to a change in the
mining plan shall not be subject to assessment on a proportionate basis in
accordance with Section 9-180.

determined by the assessment date:
1993 - 70% of the assessed value 1994 - 80% of the assessed value 1995 - 90% of the assessed value 1996 and thereafter - 100% of the assessed value
Coal assessments, including assessments based on the value of coal,
that were in effect January 1, 1986 shall be reduced to the undeveloped
coal reserve economic assessed value per acre under Section 10-175 in
annual increments as follows:
1993 - 30% of the 1986 unequalized assessed value 1994 - 20% of the 1986 unequalized assessed value 1995 - 10% of the 1986 unequalized assessed value
1996 and thereafter - the undeveloped coal reserve | ||

Coal not subject to State equalization.
Except as provided in
this Section, the assessed valuation of coal assessed under Sections 10-170
through 10-195 shall not be subject to equalization by means of State
equalization factors or State multipliers. Equalization factors applied by a
chief county assessment officer or a Board of Review pursuant to Sections 9-205
and 16-65 shall be applied to assessments of coal only to achieve assessments
as required by Sections 10-170 through 10-195.
