Re: Monthly report
The Illinois Property Tax Code requires that each year, I must annually “assemble all assessors and their deputies for consultation and shall instruct them in uniformity of their functions. The instructions shall be in writing and available to the public.” The Annual Instructional Assembly for the 2015 year was held on December 4, 2015 with a total of 31 Township Assessors and Deputy Township Assessors in attendance. The assembly incorporated specific instruction on assessment statutes (the text can be found at www.KaneCountyAssessments.org/Instructional.pdf) and used innovative communications methods such as the Turning Technologies Response Cards (on loan from the Kane County Development Department) to conduct live interactive quizzes on the content while showing the results in real time. Topics covered included:
• Overview of Tax Cycle due dates • Valuation in Years other than General Assessment Years • Use of Sale Price in Assessments • Exposure to the Open Market • Taxable Leaseholds on Government-Owned Exempt Property • Cadastral Mapping (including an introduction to newly released KaneCADr10.3) • Exemptions • Preferential Assessments • Farmland • Developer’s Relief • Assessment Corrections • Certificates of Error

Re: Monthly report
The County Assessment Officers Association (CAOA) of Illinois is made up of the Supervisors of Assessments in 100 counties and the County Assessors in Cook and St. Clair Counties. One of its principal objectives is “to recommend to members of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois needed legislation relative to assessment practices”. For the past few years, I have chaired the Legislative and Policy Committee for the CAOA. Each year we make recommendations for legislative changes and policy initiatives; the organization then adopts a Legislative and Policy Agenda at its fall conference. For the 2016 year, the CAOA has 12 legislative and/or policy initiatives:
• Update Assessing Officer Qualifying Designation Statutes to reflect industry changes • Homestead Exemption Simplification and Recodification • Revise CCAO Certification Date to reflect recent changes in Township Assessor Certification
Date. • Permit Electronic Notifications by the Property Tax Appeal Board • Permit Settlement Agreements to be enforceable at the Property Tax Appeal Board • Permit e-mail notification of Taxing Bodies for Complaints exceeding $100,000 in value change • Add “Supportive Living Facilities” to the list of congregate care properties one can move to and
not lose a homestead exemption • Eliminate Certificate of Status requirement for units of government • Review publication costs • Study the possibility of a Preferential Assessment Process for Big Box Retail Properties • Continue to work with Department of Revenue on assessing officer education and training • Continue to work with DOR and other interested parties to address discrepancies between sales
used in sales-ratio studies and sales used in other adjudicative proceedings For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the 2016 Legislative and Policy Agenda to this report.

2016 Legislative Agenda
□ Update Assessing Officer Qualifying Designation Statutes. (35 ILCS 200/2-45, et al.) We find that current state laws requiring the Illinois Department of Revenue to track continuing education for persons holding the CIAO designation, but not other designations, reflect a time when the Illinois Property Assessment Institute did not require continuing education for maintenance of the CIAO, while all other qualifying designations did require it. Now that the IPAI does require continuing education for the maintenance of the CIAO designation, the Department of Revenue should not be forced to spend time and money to undertake the task when both could be better spent elsewhere. Therefore, we support legislation that would treat the CIAO the same as all other qualifying designations and eliminate the time-consuming, duplicative task of the Department of Revenue. (See text for specific language)
□ Homestead Exemption Simplification and Recodification. (35 ILCS 200/15-165, et seq.) We find that our Homestead Exemption laws, while well-intended, lack the necessary consistency and uniformity to be easily enforced. We also believe that the significant differences between counties with three million or more residents and counties with fewer than three million residents provides the need for separate sections within the property tax code. We support the efforts of the Property Tax Advisory Committee to separate, simplify, and recodify our homestead exemption statutes. (Language to be determined jointly between the CAOA, IAA, Cook County Assessor, and Department of Revenue)
□ Revise CCAO Certification Date to reflect recent changes in Township Assessor Certification Date. (35 ILCS 200/9-245) We find that prior to 2009, the date for a Township Assessor to Certify an assessment roll to the CCAO was April 15 of the taxable year; in 2009, it was changed to June 15 by PA 96-486. However, the property tax code also requires the CCAO to certify the entire roll to the Board of Review on or before the third Monday in June (which, in 2015, was also June 15). Therefore, we support legislation that would permit the CCAO to have 90 days after the certification by the Township Assessor to certify the roll to the Board of Review. (See text for specific language)
□ Permit Electronic Notifications by PTAB. (35 ILCS 200/16-180, et seq.) We find that current state laws, which require the Property Tax Appeal Board to mail certain documents, forces it to spend funds on printing and postage that could better be spent elsewhere. Permitting use of e-mail delivery, where appropriate, would be a more environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative. Therefore, we support legislation that would permit the PTAB to send documents by e-mail. (See text for specific language)
Packet Pg. 32
□ Permit Settlement Agreements to be enforceable at PTAB. (35 ILCS 200/12-50, et al) We find that in order to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of further litigation, the Parties to assessment complaint proceedings may find it in their best interest to negotiate a settlement agreement that would provide for the adjudication of the complaint at the Board of Review. However, occasionally parties have further appealed the decisions from these settlement agreements to the Property Tax Appeal Board, and the Property Tax Appeal Board finds that it lacks the lawful authority to enforce the agreement, and the remaining parties are forced to appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction to require the enforcement of the agreement. Therefore, we support legislation that would permit the PTAB to enforce properly executed settlement agreements. (See text for specific language)
□ Legislative Goal: Change in notification of Taxing Bodies for Complaints exceeding $100,000 in value change (35 ILCS 200/16-55(i)) While we recognize the need to permit taxing districts to intervene in assessment complaints, we find that the need for mailed notice to be an administratively burdensome unfunded mandate. Therefore, we propose that these notices may be sent electronically. (See text for specific language)
□ Legislative Goal: Add “Supportive Living Facilities” to the list of congregate care properties one can move to and not lose a homestead exemption, provided home remains vacant or occupied by a qualifying spouse (35 ILCS 200/15-165, et seq.) Most homestead exemptions include a goal of providing that if a taxpayer moves to a specific type of nursing facility, the taxpayer may continue to receive the homestead exemption on the property so long as the taxpayer remains in ownership, and the homestead property remains vacant or is occupied by a qualifying spouse. We support efforts to include “Supportive Living Facilities” (a newer type of facility legislatively codified in 2006) by adding appropriate language to each homestead exemption that permits similar facilities to be so treated. (See text for specific language)
□ Legislative Goal: Certificate of Status (35 ILCS 200/15-10) We find that each year, many thousands of exempt property certificates of status are required to be sent out to and returned by units of local government. However, even if they are not returned, they cannot be placed on the tax rolls because they cannot ever go to tax sale. Therefore, we propose that any exempt property owned by a unit of state or local government join the current list (churches, cemeteries, and property of the United States) of properties that are not required to file an annual certificate of status. (See text for specific language)

2016 Policy Agenda
□ Policy Goal: Review Publication Costs (Public Act 97-146) On July 14, 2011, substantial revisions were enacted that lowered the cost of publications by Chief County Assessment Officers and other local governments. The County Assessment Officers Association and other stakeholders in the process agreed to an informal four-year moratorium on additional changes, and further agreed to meet again after four years to review the effects of the changes. Therefore, we affirm our commitment to engaging other stakeholders on this topic. (See addendum for county-specific analysis.)
□ Policy Goal: Study the possibility of a Preferential Assessment Process for Big Box Retail Properties Several states, Michigan and Indiana, responding to valuation appeals from owners of large single-tenant (“Big Box”) retail buildings by adopting preferential assessment procedures for their valuation for property tax purposes. We commit to develop a working group of interested stakeholders to investigate this topic and make further recommendations to the Association upon the completion of the investigation.
□ Policy Goal: Continue to work with IDOR on Developing SA/BR Education and Training We find that a fully trained Chief County Assessment Officer and fully trained Board of Review are essential to the efficient operation of the property tax cycle. Therefore, we support efforts to reinstitute an annual Supervisor of Assessments/Board of Review Assembly by the Illinois Department of Revenue, and commit to working with the Department of Revenue to continue this training.
□ Policy Goal: Continue to work with DOR and other interested parties to address discrepancies between sales used in sales-ratio studies and sales used in other adjudicative proceedings We find that sales considered in sales-ratio studies and sales considered in the adjudicative process are, in some jurisdictions, a substantially different data set, and we further find that this leads to differing results depending on whether a property’s value is set by mass appraisal or set by an adjudicative body. This disparity can, in some jurisdictions, lead to inequities as properties subject to complaints and appeals are treated differently than property not subject to complaints and appeals. Therefore, we commit to work with the Illinois Department of Revenue and other interested stakeholders to review this issue and, if consensus can be achieved, propose administrative and/or legislative changes to correct the problem.
