  • Assessment and Appeal Information Directory
    ASSESSMENT AND APPEAL INFORMATION DIRECTORY Forward This publication is designed as a reference tool for the taxpayer who may have only a basic understanding of the property tax assessment and appeal processes in the State of Illinois. Taxpayers should refer to the county where their property is located as a starting point for answers to assessment and appeal questions. The functions of various county officials are generally the same in each county. Due to occasional changes in addresses and telephone numbers throughout the state's 102 counties, it is almost impossible to guarantee complete accuracy at all times. However, rest assured that the staff of the Property Tax Appeal Board has made every effort to verify the information contained in the booklet. To that end, we wish to acknowledge the sincere assistance received from county officials statewide. It was their cooperation and support that has made the Assessment and Appeal Information Directory possible. This publication is available at the Property Tax Appeal Board offices in Springfield and Des Plaines. If you notice any omissions or errors, please let us know immediately and we will correct our records.

  • The Illinois Supreme Court Has Struck Down State Laws That Slap Fees On
    6/30/2021 IL Supreme Court: Court foreclosure filing fees are illegal tax to support state 'neighborhood beautification plan' | Cook County Record Illinois Supreme Court | Illinoiscourts.gov The Illinois Supreme Court has struck down state laws that slap fees on those bringing mortgage foreclosure actions, saying the $50 filing fee represents an attempt by the state to use the court system to raise money to administer a state social welfare program intended to combat neighborhood blight and reduce future home foreclosures. On June 17, the state high court declared unconstitutional sections of two laws, a revision of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure, which governs operations at Illinois’ state courts, and sections of the Illinois Housing Development Act. The portions of those laws together created a fee system that imposed $50 fees on people bringing foreclosure actions in Illinois circuit courts, and then would dedicate that revenue to support a range of government programs and agencies. Under the revised IHDA provisions, the money would be divided between housing counseling agencies to prevent foreclosures in Chicago and elsewhere, and would be paid to Cook County, the city of Chicago and county and municipal governments in other counties in Chicago’s suburbs, ostensibly to cover the expenses of remedying and maintaining abandoned residential properties, to Daniel K. Cray | crayhuber.com combat blight caused by home foreclosures. That fee system and related laws were challenged by plaintiffs Reuben D. Walker and M. Steven Diamond in Will County court, who asserted the fees represented an unconstitutional infringement on their right of access to the court.

  • The Case for Repudiating and Replacing Illinois' Void Sentence

Classen* Honorable Jack O’Malley** During the summer of 2010, the Illinois Supreme Court repeated the “well settled” rule “that a [criminal] sentence that is in conflict with statutory guidelines is void and may be challenged at any time.”1 The predominant reason a judgment is considered void under Illinois law is that “it was entered by a court that lacked jurisdiction of the parties or the subject matter or that lacked the inherent power2 to make or enter the particular order involved.”3 Thus, this void sentence rule presumes * Mr. Classen is a judicial law clerk for Justice Thomas E. Hoffman of the Illinois Appellate Court First District, an Affiliate Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law, and a former law clerk for Justice O’Malley. He graduated cum laude from the University of Illinois College of Law. ** Justice O’Malley served on the Illinois Appellate Court Second District from 2000 to 2010. Prior to his election to the bench, Justice O’Malley was twice elected as Cook County State’s Attorney. He graduated from the University of Chicago Law School as an Edwin F. Mandel Fellow and attended Cornell University Law School as a Charles Evans Hughes Scholar. The authors owe thanks to Laura E. Rodey for her unrelenting support and assistance, and to Illinois Appellate Court Second District Research Director Jeffrey H. Kaplan for his characteristically insightful suggestions.
