Illinois moves toward local control on tax levy ceilings
The Illinois Legislature cleared a bill to let cities counties and other units set their own property tax ceilings by ordinance or restoration. Corporate fund raises up to 10 percent can occur without a referendum with voter endorsement required only for larger increases. Most units must decide by December 31 with townships by April. The bill preserves fallbacks if home rule is invalidated and separately shifts school districts from Hodge restrictions to the school code.
