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.

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. (Source: P.A. 85‑1252.)
(65 ILCS 5/11‑84‑2)(from Ch. 24, par. 11‑84‑2) Sec. 11‑84‑2.

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.

Thereupon, if the owner of any lot, block, tract, or parcel of land has failed or refused to construct or repair his portion of the sidewalk in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance, the specified officer or board shall proceed to prepare a special tax list against those lots, blocks, tracts or parcels of land in front of or touching upon which the sidewalk has not been constructed or repaired, ascertaining by computation the amount of special taxes and the annual installments thereof to be charged against each of those lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land on account of the construction or repair of the sidewalk, according to the rule fixed for the levy of that special tax by the ordinance. This special tax list shall be filed in the office of the specified officer or board, and this officer or board shall thereupon issue warrants directed to the municipal collector, or to such officer as may be designated in the ordinance, for the collection of the amount of special tax so ascertained and appearing from this special tax list to be due from the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk. However, the aggregate amount of each special tax shall be divided into 5 annual installments of equal amounts, except that all fractional amounts shall be added to the first installment, so as to leave the remaining installments equal in amount and each a multiple of $100. The first installment shall be due and payable on the second day of January next after the date of the first voucher issued on account of the work done, and the second installment one year thereafter, and so on annually until all installments are paid. The specified officer or board shall file in the office of the municipal collector, or such officer as may be designated to collect the tax, a certificate, signed by the officer or secretary of the board preparing the tax list, of the date of the first voucher and of the amount thereof within 30 days after the issuance thereof.

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.

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.

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.

Thereupon, if the owner of any lot, block, tract, or parcel of land has failed or refused to construct or repair his portion of the sidewalk in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance, the specified officer or board shall proceed to prepare a special tax list against those lots, blocks, tracts or parcels of land in front of or touching upon which the sidewalk has not been constructed or repaired, ascertaining by computation the amount of special taxes and the annual installments thereof to be charged against each of those lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land on account of the construction or repair of the sidewalk, according to the rule fixed for the levy of that special tax by the ordinance. This special tax list shall be filed in the office of the specified officer or board, and this officer or board shall thereupon issue warrants directed to the municipal collector, or to such officer as may be designated in the ordinance, for the collection of the amount of special tax so ascertained and appearing from this special tax list to be due from the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk. However, the aggregate amount of each special tax shall be divided into 5 annual installments of equal amounts, except that all fractional amounts shall be added to the first installment, so as to leave the remaining installments equal in amount and each a multiple of $100. The first installment shall be due and payable on the second day of January next after the date of the first voucher issued on account of the work done, and the second installment one year thereafter, and so on annually until all installments are paid. The specified officer or board shall file in the office of the municipal collector, or such officer as may be designated to collect the tax, a certificate, signed by the officer or secretary of the board preparing the tax list, of the date of the first voucher and of the amount thereof within 30 days after the issuance thereof.{"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://statutes.laws.com/test/","url":"https://statutes.laws.com/test/","name":"State Codes and Statutes - Statutes","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://statutes.laws.com/#website"},"datePublished":"2015-03-10T03:31:37+00:00","dateModified":"2019-12-27T23:25:16+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://statutes.laws.com/test/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://statutes.laws.com/test/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://statutes.laws.com/test/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://statutes.laws.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"State Codes and Statutes"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://statutes.laws.com/#website","url":"https://statutes.laws.com/","name":"Statutes","description":"","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://statutes.laws.com/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}

But if, in the opinion of three‑fourths of the members elected to the city council or board of trustees of such a municipality, a greater levy for bridge and street purposes is needed, an additional levy may be made of any sum not exceeding .04% of such taxable property. Municipalities having a higher limitation than .10% for street and bridge purposes on July 1, 1967 may continue to levy such higher rate. The street and bridge tax authorized by this Section shall be in addition to: (1) any tax that such a municipality is now authorized to levy for street or bridge purposes, and (2) the tax that such a municipality is now authorized to levy upon all property within the municipality, and (3) the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided by Section 8‑3‑1.

Such street and bridge tax authorized by this Section 11‑81‑2 shall be in addition to any tax any such city, village or incorporated town is now authorized to levy for street or bridge purposes and shall be in addition to the tax that such city, village or incorporated town is now authorized to levy upon the aggregate valuation of all property within such city, village or incorporated town, and shall be in addition to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided by Section 8‑3‑1.

DIVISION 84. SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
(65 ILCS 5/11‑84‑1)(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. (Source: P.A. 85‑1252.)
(65 ILCS 5/11‑84‑2)(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. (Source: Laws 1961, p. 576.)
(65 ILCS 5/11‑84‑3)(from Ch. 24, par. 11‑84‑3) Sec. 11‑84‑3. Such an ordinance may provide that a bill of the costs of the sidewalk, showing the cost of the construction or repair and supervision thereof, shall be made by the officer or board designated by the ordinance to take charge of the construction or repair of the sidewalk, together with a list of the lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk, the names of the parties who last paid the general taxes on the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels and the frontage, superficial area, or assessed value as specified in Section 11‑84‑1, according as the ordinance may provide for the levy of the cost by the frontage, superficial area or assessed value. Thereupon, if the owner of any lot, block, tract, or parcel of land has failed or refused to construct or repair his portion of the sidewalk in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance, the specified officer or board shall proceed to prepare a special tax list against those lots, blocks, tracts or parcels of land in front of or touching upon which the sidewalk has not been constructed or repaired, ascertaining by computation the amount of special taxes and the annual installments thereof to be charged against each of those lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land on account of the construction or repair of the sidewalk, according to the rule fixed for the levy of that special tax by the ordinance. This special tax list shall be filed in the office of the specified officer or board, and this officer or board shall thereupon issue warrants directed to the municipal collector, or to such officer as may be designated in the ordinance, for the collection of the amount of special tax so ascertained and appearing from this special tax list to be due from the respective lots, blocks, tracts, or parcels of land touching upon the line of the sidewalk. However, the aggregate amount of each special tax shall be divided into 5 annual installments of equal amounts, except that all fractional amounts shall be added to the first installment, so as to leave the remaining installments equal in amount and each a multiple of $100. The first installment shall be due and payable on the second day of January next after the date of the first voucher issued on account of the work done, and the second installment one year thereafter, and so on annually until all installments are paid. The specified officer or board shall file in the office of the municipal collector, or such officer as may be designated to collect the tax, a certificate, signed by the officer or secretary of the board preparing the tax list, of the date of the first voucher and of the amount thereof within 30 days after the issuance thereof.
