IL HB2468

County assessors must mail a notice of assessment to each taxpayer in every taxable year, rather than only when assessments change.

Assessment notices must include previous year's assessed value, current assessed value with date, percentage change, full fair market value, and statement that non-farm property must be assessed at 33 1/3% of fair market value.

Notices must provide assessor contact information, reason for valuation increases where practicable, newspaper publication details, appeal procedures with deadline (30 days after publication), and information about homestead exemptions.

Counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants must include physical property characteristics from electronic databases on notices or provide website URL where characteristics are available.

In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, county assessor must send notice to property owner in each taxable year and provide opportunity to be heard if assessment is revised.
