11 properties giving the same information for each parcel as
12 required of owners who file individual affidavits. If a taxing
13 district fails to file an affidavit by the date specified in
14 this Section, then, prior to terminating the exemption of the
15 property, the chief county assessment officer shall notify the
16 taxing district by first-class mail that the chief county
17 assessment officer has not received the affidavit.

23 information, and shall file a supplemental affidavit
24 within 90 days of date on which the application was due, if
25 the information in the relevant hospital entity's audited
26 financial statements changes the interim affidavit's
