The bill requires property tax bills to include specific information about available exemptions for taxpayers and their application deadlines, along with stylistic requirements for presentation.

  • 35 ILCS 200/20-15

    In all counties, the statement shall include information notifying taxpayers of each exemption that is available to a specific category of taxpayer and the deadlines for applying for those exemptions.

    This addition mandates that property tax statements provide information about available exemptions and deadlines for applying.

  • (1) meet the following criteria: (A) the information must be in a font that is larger than the font of the principal text on the property tax bill, but in no event smaller than 12-point type, or, if the statement is provided by electronic means, then reasonable steps shall be taken to ensure that the type size is larger than the type size of the principal text on the same page; (B) the information must be located on the front side of the first page of the property tax bill or notice; (C) the information must be in a format that is distinct from other text, such as inside a border; and (D) the information must be in a type style that is distinct from the principal type style used on the same page, such as bolded, italicized, underlined, or in a color that contrasts with the color of the principal text on the page;

    This sets specific stylistic requirements for how exemption information must be presented on property tax bills.

  • (2) be included in the envelope in which the other municipal informational material is sent, including, but not limited to, the following information: information regarding programs to defer taxes and options for taxpayers having difficulty affording their taxes; information describing how the assessment is calculated; information regarding options to appeal incorrect assessments; the tax rate and how it is calculated and applied; services that are supported by property tax payments; important dates on the assessment calendar, including when tax payments are due and deadlines for filing exemption and appeal applications; the process for updating tax billing information and exemptions if there is a change in ownership of the property.

    This provides an alternative for delivering exemption information, allowing it to be included in the envelope containing other municipal materials.
