IL SB3101

County collectors in counties with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants must establish procedures to verify the identity of taxpayers requesting changes to their tax bill mailing address.

Tax bill mailing address changes can only be implemented if the requester is the property owner, trustee, or holds power of attorney from the owner or trustee.

County collectors may automatically mail property tax bills to a property owner's new address if the owner has filed a permanent change of address with the United States Postal Service, without requiring separate notification to the collector.

Taxpayers may request to receive their tax bill via email instead of mail, and must notify the collector of any email address changes as soon as possible after the change occurs.
