PROP TAX-TWP ASSESSMENT BOOKS

What this bill does

Amends the Property Tax Code. In provisions concerning township or multi-township assessment books, provides that, if the supervisor of assessments determines that the township or multi-township assessor has not completed the assessments as required by law before returning the assessment books, then the supervisor of assessments (rather than the county board) may submit a bill to the township board of trustees for the reasonable costs incurred by the supervisor of assessments in completing the assessments. Provides that, if the supervisor of assessments determines that the township or multi-township assessor has provided incomplete books or workbooks within the prior quadrennial assessment cycle, then the supervisor of assessments may give notice to the township assessor or multi-township assessor and shall receive the assessment books or workbooks up to 90 days in advance of the deadlines if either (1) the township or multi-township has omitted new construction in the prior year for more than 6 months; or (2) at least 20% of any property class fails to be changed in the township or multi-township assessment books in the prior general assessment year. Provides that, if the supervisor of assessments determines that a review of the books of the township or multi-township is necessary, then the year the review takes place, the revaluation powers of the supervisor of assessments shall be the same as in the general assessment year and the supervisor of assessments shall have the authority to value omitted property. Provides that, if any valuation changes occur as the result of the provisions, then the county treasurer shall keep a list of the properties identified by the supervisor of assessments on the county's website. Provides that, if the township maintains a website, then the information shall be posted on the township's website. Effective immediately.

  1. Introduction of Bill

    A member of the Senate or the House introduces a bill, which is assigned a unique identifying number (e.g., "H.B. ___" for House bills and "S.B. ___" for Senate bills). If not enacted, it must be reintroduced in the next General Assembly with a new number.

  2. Committee Work — Hearings

    The bill goes to the appropriate committee, which holds hearings to gather expert opinions and determine the need for the legislation.

  3. Committee Work — Markup, Amendments, Report

    The committee may make amendments to the bill. If approved, a committee report endorsing the bill is issued.

  4. Floor Debate

    The bill is debated and can be further amended. The debate transcripts are accessible online for public viewing.

  5. Passage and Consideration in Second Chamber

    If the bill passes in the first chamber, it moves to the second chamber for a similar review process. If both chambers approve, it goes to the governor.

    The governor can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action (resulting in an automatic law after 60 days). The type of veto can be total or amendatory. Once signed, the bill becomes a Public Act and is assigned a Public Act number.
