Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance. Any assessor in  counties with less than 3,000,000 but more than 50,000 inhabitants each  year may petition the Department to receive additional compensation based on  performance.  To receive additional compensation, the official's assessment  jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:(1) the median level of assessment must be no more     than 35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and(2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater     than 15%.   For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" means the average  deviation of all assessments from the median level.  For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants shall be determined  by the latest federal decennial census.  When the most  recent census shows an increase in inhabitants to over 50,000 or a decrease  to 50,000 or fewer, then the  assessment year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion and the most  recent year of the 3-year average level of assessments is the year that  determines qualification for additional  compensation.  The Department will  promulgate rules and regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these  criteria.Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants may  petition the  Department for consideration to receive additional compensation each year  based on performance. In order to receive the additional compensation, the  assessments in the official's assessment jurisdiction must meet the following  criteria: (i) the median level of assessments must be no more than 35 1/3% and  no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of property in his or her assessment  jurisdiction; and (ii) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater than  40% in 1994, 38% in 1995, 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in 1998, and 30% in  1999 and every year thereafter.Real estate transfer declarations used by the Department in annual  sales-assessment ratio studies will be used to evaluate applications for  additional compensation. The Department will audit other property to determine  if the sales-assessment ratio study data is representative of the assessment  jurisdiction.  If the ratio study is found not representative, appraisals and  other information may be utilized.  If the ratio study is representative, upon  certification by the Department, the assessor shall receive additional  compensation of $3,000 for that year, to be paid out of funds appropriated to  the Department from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund.As used in this Section, "assessor" means any township or multi-township  assessor, or supervisor of assessments.
