2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 65 - MUNICIPALITIES|65 ILCS 5/ - Illinois Municipal Code.|Article 11 - Corporate Powers and Functions

 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-1)Sec. 11-84-1.         In addition to any other manner authorized by law, any  municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the construction and repair of  sidewalks therein, along or upon any streets or part of streets therein.  The corporate authorities, by that ordinance, may provide for the payment  of the whole or any part of the cost thereof by special taxation of the  lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line where such  a sidewalk is ordered. This special taxation may be either by levying the  whole or any part of the cost thereof upon each of the lots, blocks,  tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk, pro  rata, according to their respective values. The values of the lots, blocks,  tracts, or parcels of land shall be determined by the last preceding  assessment thereof for the purpose of state and county taxation. Or the  whole or any part of the cost thereof may be levied upon such lots, blocks,  tracts, or parcels of land in proportion to their frontage upon such  sidewalk, or in proportion to their superficial area, as may be provided by  ordinance ordering the laying down of the sidewalk. In case the ordinance  only requires a part of the cost of the sidewalk to be paid by a special  tax as provided in this section, the residue of the cost shall be paid out  of any fund of the municipality raised by general taxation upon the  property in the municipality and not otherwise appropriated. Such a  municipality, by one and the same ordinance, may provide for the  construction or repair of sidewalks under this article on 2 or more  streets, or parts of streets, or on one or both sides of any street or  streets, whenever the sidewalks are so connected, or otherwise related, as  to constitute a single system of improvement.  A duplicate copy of the  ordinance, duly certified by law, shall be delivered by the clerk of the  municipality to the recorder of deeds of each county in which any part of  the property is located not less than 30 days before commencement of any  construction by the municipality as specified hereinafter in this Division  84.  Each recorder shall record the copy and keep it as part of the  permanent records of the office of such recorder.  Such special taxes are a  lien upon the property against which they are charged from the date upon  which a copy of said ordinance is filed or recorded, which lien is  discharged when the tax has been paid or the property has been sold  pursuant to Section 11-84-5 of this Act.When the tax has been fully paid, the corporate authorities of the  municipality shall execute and record, in the recorder's office of the  county in which the land is located, a release of the lien of the taxes so  paid, and shall deliver a copy of the release to the owner of the property.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-2)Sec. 11-84-2.         Such an ordinance shall define the location of the proposed  sidewalk or the sidewalk to be repaired with reasonable certainty, shall  prescribe its width, the materials of which it is to be constructed and the  manner of its construction, and may provide that the materials and  construction shall be under the supervision of and subject to the approval  of an officer or board of officers of the municipality to be designated in  the ordinance.The ordinance shall require all owners of lots, blocks, tracts, or  parcels of land touching the line of a proposed sidewalk to construct or  repair a sidewalk in front of or touching upon their respective lots,  blocks, tracts, or parcels of land in accordance with the specifications of  the ordinance, within 30 days after the mailing of notice of the passage of  the ordinance, addressed to the party who last paid the general taxes on  the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels. In default thereof the  municipality may furnish the materials and construct or repair the sidewalk  in accordance with the ordinance, or may enter into a contract for the  furnishing of the materials and the construction or repair of the sidewalk  as hereinafter provided in this Division 84. The cost of such part thereof  as may be fixed in the ordinance may be collected as hereinafter provided  in this Division 84. The municipality may issue vouchers bearing not to  exceed 6% interest annually in payment of these sidewalks, payable solely  out of the special tax provided for in this Division 84 when the tax is  collected.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-4)Sec. 11-84-4.         Upon failure to collect the special tax as hereinbefore  provided in this Division 84, the municipal collector, or the officer  designated to collect the tax on or before the first day of August in each  year, shall make a written report of this special tax to such general  officer of the county as may be authorized by law to apply for judgment  against and sell lands for taxes due the county or state. This report shall  also contain an enumeration of (1) all the lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels  of land upon which this special tax remains unpaid, (2) the names of the  respective owners thereof, so far as the names are known to the collecting  officer, (3) the amount due and unpaid upon each lot, block, tract, or  parcel and (4) a copy of the ordinance ordering the construction of the  sidewalk. This report shall be accompanied by the oath of the officer that  the list is a correct return of the lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of  land on which the special tax levied by authority of the municipality for  the cost or partial cost, as the case may be, of the sidewalk specified in  that ordinance remains due and unpaid, and that the amounts therein stated  as due and unpaid, have not been collected, nor any part thereof. This  report, when so made, is prima facie evidence that all the forms and  requirements of the law in relation to making that return have been  complied with, and that the special tax, as mentioned in the report, is due  and unpaid.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-84-8)Sec. 11-84-8.         If a special tax for the construction or repair of a sidewalk  is annulled by the corporate authorities or set aside by any court, a new  ordinance may be passed and a new tax may be made and returned. This power  to pass a new ordinance providing for a new tax exists only when (1) the  prior ordinance was passed under "An Act to provide additional means for  the construction of sidewalks in cities, towns and villages," approved  April 15, 1875, as amended, or under this Division 84, and (2) when the  prior ordinance was merely defective but not void.The proceedings therefor shall be the same as in the first instance, and  all parties in interest shall have like rights and like powers in relation  to any subsequent tax as are hereby given in relation to the first tax. No  special tax shall be levied for work already done under a prior ordinance,  unless it appears that the work was done in good faith, by the  municipality, or under contract duly let and executed, pursuant to an  ordinance providing that the sidewalk should be paid for by special tax.
