IL HB1614

Amends the Property Tax Code to allow persons with disabilities who are certified as "totally and permanently disabled" by a physician, optometrist, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant to avoid annual re-examination for the homestead exemption

Applicants must attach the original documentation of total and permanent disability to subsequent annual applications to qualify for the re-examination waiver

The exemption waiver does not apply if the exemption has been deemed erroneous since the last application or if the claimant has reported their ineligibility to receive the exemption

The homestead exemption for persons with disabilities provides a $2,000 reduction from the property's equalized assessed value for qualifying homeowners
