1 assessment districts. Before August 1, 2002 and every 10
2 years thereafter, the supervisor of assessments shall prepare
3 maps, by county, of the townships, indicating the number of
4 inhabitants and the equalized assessed valuation of each
5 township for the preceding year, within the counties under
6 township organization, and shall distribute a copy of that map
7 to the county board and to each township supervisor, board of
8 trustees, sitting township or multi-township assessor, and to
9 the Department. The map shall contain suggested multi-township
10 assessment districts for purposes of assessment. Upon receipt
11 of the maps, the boards of trustees shall determine
12 separately, by majority vote, if the suggested multi-township
13 districts are acceptable.
14 The township boards of trustees may meet as a body to
15 discuss the suggested districts of which they would be a part.
16 Upon request of the township supervisor of any township, the
17 township supervisor of the township containing the most
18 population shall call the meeting, designating the time and
19 place, and shall act as temporary chairperson of the meeting
20 until a permanent chairperson is chosen from among the
21 township officials included in the call to the meeting. The
22 township assessors and supervisor of assessments may
23 participate in the meeting. Notice of the meeting shall be
24 given in the same manner as notice is required for township
25 meetings in the Township Code. The meeting shall be open to the
26 public and may be recessed from time to time.

1 If a multi-township assessment district is not acceptable
2 to any board of trustees, they shall so determine and further
3 determine an alternative multi-township assessment district.
4 The suggested or alternative multi-township assessment
5 district shall contain at least 2 townships and 3,000 1,000 or
6 more inhabitants, shall contain no less than the total area of
7 any one township, shall be contiguous to at least one other
8 township in the multi-township assessment district, and shall
9 be located within one county. For purposes of this Section
10 only, townships are contiguous if they share a common boundary
11 line or meet at any point. This amendatory Act of 1996 is not a
12 new enactment, but is declarative of existing law.
13 Before September 15, 2002 and every 10 years thereafter,
14 the respective boards of town trustees shall notify the
15 supervisor of assessments and the Department whether they have
16 accepted the suggested multi-township assessment district or
17 whether they have adopted an alternative district, and, in the
18 latter case, they shall include in the notification a
19 description or map, by township, of the alternative district.
20 Before October 1, 2002 and every 10 years thereafter, the
21 supervisor of assessments shall determine whether any
22 suggested or alternative multi-township assessment district
23 meets the conditions of this Section and Section 2-5. If any
24 township board of trustees fails to so notify the supervisor
25 of assessments and the Department as provided in this Section,
26 the township shall be part of the original suggested

1 multi-township assessment district. In any dispute between 2
2 or more townships as to inclusion or exclusion of a township in
3 any one multi-township assessment district, the county board
4 shall hold a public hearing in the county seat and, as soon as
5 practicable thereafter, make a final determination as to the
6 composition of the district. It shall notify the Department of
7 the final determination before November 15, 2002 and every 10
8 years thereafter. The Department shall promulgate the
9 multi-township assessment districts, file the same with the
10 Secretary of State as provided in the Illinois Administrative
11 Procedure Act and so notify the township supervisors, boards
12 of trustees and county clerks of the townships and counties
13 subject to this Section and Section 2-5. If the Department's
14 promulgation removes a township from a prior multi-township
15 assessment district, that township shall, within 30 days after
16 the effective date of the removal, receive a distribution of a
17 portion of the assets of the prior multi-township assessment
18 district according to the ratio of the total equalized
19 assessed valuation of all the taxable property in the township
20 to the total equalized assessed valuation of all the taxable
21 property in the prior multi-township assessment district. If a
22 township is removed from one multi-township assessment
23 district and made a part of another multi-township assessment
24 district, the district from which the township is removed
25 shall, within 30 days after the effective date of the removal,
26 cause the township's distribution under this paragraph to be

1 paid directly to the district of which the township is made a
2 part. A township receiving such a distribution (or a
3 multi-township assessment district receiving such a
4 distribution on behalf of a township that is made a part of
5 that district) shall use the proceeds from the distribution
6 only in connection with assessing real estate in the township
7 for tax purposes.
