IllinoisProperty tax bills would flag exemptions missing this tax year
Illinois property tax bills would highlight exemptions granted last tax year but missing this year; counties using estimated or early billing would notify owners only with the final installment.
What it does
Property tax bills would prominently flag, in bold, exemptions granted last tax year but missing this year. With estimated or early billing, notices would come only with the final installment.
Argument forThe bold notice could help property owners spot a missing exemption and ask their assessor whether it should still apply.
Argument againstOwners receiving estimated or early bills might make earlier payments without seeing the notice explaining which exemptions are missing.
More detail
Property tax bills would display a missing-exemption notice prominently and in bold type. The notice would cover any exemption granted to an Illinois property in the immediately preceding tax year but not the current tax year. Counties using estimated or early billing would provide the notice only with the final installment of taxes due. The requirement would take effect when the bill becomes law.
