2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 70 - SPECIAL DISTRICTS|70 ILCS 605/ - Illinois Drainage Code.|Article V - Levy And Collection Of Assessments

 (from Ch. 42, par. 5-15)Sec. 5-15.     Original assessments-Appeals.The commissioners or any other interested party may appeal as in other  civil cases from a judgment on any assessment in the same time and manner  as is now or may hereafter be provided for taking an appeal from a judgment  on the Collector's application for judgment and order of sale for  delinquent general taxes. Such appeals may be joint or separate. The taking  of an appeal by any one or more persons as to any one or more tracts of  land or property shall not operate to defer the collection of the  assessments confirmed by such judgment on any other tract of land or  property not involved in such appeal, but the collection in such other  cases shall proceed as if no appeal had been taken. When, on any such  appeal, the cause is remanded for a new trial, then the judgment entered  upon such new trial shall make reference to the part of the judgment, if  any, not appealed from, and if any assessment be confirmed, the time of  payment and rate of interest thereon shall correspond, as nearly as  practicable, to the time of payment and interest on the part of the  judgment not appealed from.

 (from Ch. 42, par. 5-26)Sec. 5-26.         Receivers.)  The court in which a foreclosure suit is pending  may, upon motion of  the commissioners and without bond, appoint a receiver of the rents,  issues and profits of any land or other property which is the subject  matter of such suit. The circuit court may also, upon  complaint of the commissioners and without bond, appoint such a  receiver, even though no foreclosure suit is pending, when any original  or additional assessment, any installment of assessment, any annual  maintenance assessment or any interest on any assessment is delinquent  and the land or other property against which such assessment was levied  has been forfeited to the State upon failure to sell at the Collector's  sale for the non-payment thereof. If the receiver so appointed is a  commissioner or other officer of the district and such commissioner or  other officer has given bond for the faithful performance of his  official duties as such commissioner or officer and that bond is, in the  opinion of the court, adequate to protect the interests of the parties,  then the official bond of such commissioner or other officer shall stand  as his bond for the faithful performance of his duties as receiver. Any  receiver so appointed may be authorized by the court to pay, out of the  rents, issues and profits collected by him, any necessary expenses in  connection with the operation of the property, including receiver's fees  and expenses incurred in the administration of the receivership, general  taxes and other special assessments. The receiver shall apply the net  income from the property to the payment of the delinquent assessments or  installments upon such forfeited property, together with any assessments  or installments subsequently falling due and all interest, and when the  same, including all penalties and costs thereof, have been fully  satisfied, whether out of the income collected by the receiver or  otherwise, and the receiver has been discharged, the action shall abate  and the owner shall be restored to possession. The remedy provided by  this section shall be held and taken as cumulative and shall not be  construed to abridge or interfere with the right to enforce collection  of any unpaid or delinquent assessment in any manner otherwise provided  by law.

 (from Ch. 42, par. 5-27)Sec. 5-27.     Rebate of assessments illegally levied and collected.When an assessment or a portion of an assessment has been illegally  levied and has been collected and no lien has attached to the funds so  collected, the commissioners may use those funds, or any part thereof, for  the purposes for which the assessment was levied, or they may petition the  court in which the assessment was levied for authority to rebate the  balance of such funds remaining after the payment of the costs and expenses  incident to the levy of the assessment and the collection of the assessment  and the rebate thereof. Upon the filing of the petition it shall be  presented to the court and set for hearing. The clerk of the court shall  give notice of the hearing in substantially the form provided in Section  4-21 and in the manner and for the length of time provided in Section 4-22.  Any person interested may appear at the hearing and show cause why a  rebate should or should not be made.

 (from Ch. 42, par. 5-28)Sec. 5-28.     Rebate  and abatement of excess assessments-Commissioners' petition.     When the individual assessments have been completely paid and the  purposes for which the assessment was levied have been accomplished and the  funds remaining on hand from the assessment exceed the amount necessary to  accomplish those purposes, then the commissioners may either retain such  excess and use it for the general purposes of the district or they may  petition the court for authority to rebate such excess or a portion  thereof. When some of the individual assessments have been completely paid  and others are unpaid or only partially paid, but the purposes for which  the assessment was levied have been accomplished and the assessment exceeds  the amount necessary to accomplish those purposes, then the commissioners  may either retain such excess and use it for the general purposes of the  district or they may petition the court for authority to rebate and abate  such excess, or a portion thereof. Any such petition to rebate, or to  rebate and abate, such excess, or a portion thereof, under this Section  shall be verified by the commissioners and shall set forth (a) the amount  of the assessment levied, (b) the amount collected, (c) the amount  delinquent, if any, (d) the amount of the assessment which is not yet due  and remains unpaid, if any, (e) the amount expended, (f) the amount of any  indebtedness of the district which arose out of such assessment, (g) the  amount of any other indebtedness of the district, (h) whether any funds are  otherwise available for the payment of such indebtedness, (i) the amount  which, in the opinion of the commissioners, should be rebated, or rebated  and abated, and (j) the amount which should be retained for the general  purposes of the district. Upon the petition being filed, it shall be  presented to the court and the court shall set a time and place for  hearing. The clerk of the court shall give notice of the hearing in  substantially the form provided in Section 4-21, and in the manner and for  the length of time provided in Section 4-22. Any person interested may  appear at the hearing and show cause why the prayer of the petition should  or should not be granted. If the court finds from the evidence that the  remaining uncollected balance of the assessment, if any, and the funds on  hand or otherwise available are in excess of the outstanding indebtedness,  of the district and that no obligation of any contract will be impaired,  the court may order the rebate, or the rebate and abatement, of that  portion of the assessment not required for the general purposes of the  district, provided that no assessment or installment against which there is  a valid lien shall be abated without the consent of the holder or holders  of such lien.

If, at any time, the ownership of any tract of land is divided in a  manner other than that described in any assessment roll and such  assessment, or a portion thereof, is unpaid, the landowners may agree upon  the division of the assessment or the unpaid portion thereof between or  among them and request the division of the assessment on the district  collector's books. If the request for division of the assessment is  approved by the commissioners, they shall adopt a resolution granting the  request and file the same with the Clerk, who shall record it in the  drainage record. The district collector, upon receipt of a certified copy  of the resolution, shall make a division of the assessment or the unpaid  portion thereof on his books to correspond with the agreement of the  landowners, and such divided assessment shall thereafter be enforceable  only against the separate tracts according to the method of division.  Annual maintenance assessments may be divided between or among several  owners in the same manner as is hereinabove provided for other assessments.  In the absence of such agreement, the district collector shall divide the  assessment, or the unpaid portion thereof, on his books to correspond to  the ratio of the assessed land area held by each owner after division of  such tract to the total original assessed land area of the tract.
