IL HB2185

Eliminates the requirement for seniors to reapply annually for the homestead exemption once granted, making the exemption continuous.

Requires county assessors to establish procedures with county recorders or clerks to annually determine whether exemption holders have conveyed their property or are deceased.

Mandates that assessors mail notice to new property owners when an exemption is removed, informing them that the exemption will be removed and they may reapply if the property becomes qualified.

Removes previous provisions that limited automatic renewal to counties with 3 million or more inhabitants, applying the continuous exemption requirement statewide.
