Hartz Homes would like to pass along information that impacts homeowners in the Chicagoland area.

On June 5, Illinois Governor Pritzker signed into law a bill that allows all qualified exemptions for levy year 2019 payable in 2020 to be automatically renewed and processed without re-application for 2020 payable in 2021. This includes Homestead Exemption for Persons with Disabilities, Standard Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities, and Senior Citizen Assessment Freeze. The action was taken due to COVID-19.

In response to this bill, the Will County Supervisor of Assessments, Rhonda Novak, announced that her office will not be sending renewal forms for the 2020 levy year. She said, “All eligible seniors and disabled persons or disabled veterans who received exemptions for the 2019 year will also receive the same exemptions for the 2020 levy year payable in 2021.”

For further information, Will County residents can call the Supervisor of Assessments Office at 815-740-4648.

Residents of other counties in Illinois, should check with their county’s Assessments Office to get details of how their county is handling the bill signed by Governor Pritzker.
