district in which the property is located and the dollar
amount of tax due that is allocable to the TIF district,
(c) the total tax rate,
(d) the total amount of tax due, and
(e) the amount by which the total tax and the tax
allocable to each taxing district differs from the
taxpayer's last prior tax bill; and .
(f) the percentage of the taxpayer's total tax bill
that is attributable to a ballot initiative or referendum.
The county treasurer shall ensure that only those taxing
districts in which a parcel of property is located shall be
listed on the bill for that property.
In all counties the statement shall also provide:
(1) the property index number or other suitable
description,
(2) the assessment of the property,
(3) the statutory amount of each homestead exemption
applied to the property,

assessment.
In all counties which do not classify property for
purposes of taxation, for property on which a single family
residence is situated the statement shall also include a
statement to reflect the fair cash value determined for the
property. In all counties which classify property for purposes
of taxation in accordance with Section 4 of Article IX of the
Illinois Constitution, for parcels of residential property in
the lowest assessment classification the statement shall also
include a statement to reflect the fair cash value determined
for the property.
In all counties, the statement must include information
that certain taxpayers may be eligible for tax exemptions,
abatements, and other assistance programs and that, for more

township or county assessor and with the Illinois Department

In counties which use the estimated or accelerated billing
methods, these statements shall only be provided with the
final installment of taxes due. The provisions of this Section
create a mandatory statutory duty. They are not merely
directory or discretionary. The failure or neglect of the
collector to mail the bill, or the failure of the taxpayer to
receive the bill, shall not affect the validity of any tax, or
the liability for the payment of any tax.
