putintime Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 :D Hey All, Already got a response....BUT.....It still is goofy to me. The Webmaster at the "Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs" wrote: Thank you for your inquiry concerning the information provided on our website concerning the Disabled Veteran Standard Homestead Exemption. The information is based upon the practical application of the law. When first enacted we did not have the information concerning the EAV and were similarly contacted that the information was not clear in terms of how the law is administered. Regarding your question concerning whether the exemption is to be applied to the EAV or not, I would refer you to the IL Department of Revenue who provides guidance to assessors on these items. Now when you go the Illinois Department of Revenue site, It talks about EAV, the problem is all other sections of Public Act 95-0644 mentions the EAV when discribing the property tax exemption, except Section 35 ILCS 200/15-169, where again it only mentions EAV in paragraph (f). I am now contacting all six regional offices by snail mail with the above letter, please do the same. Take Care, putintime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putintime Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hey All; I'd like to get some feedback on others experiencing some feedback concerning this issue (Public Act 95-0644). Just received my 2009 property tax, still increases, as property value decreases. Have received 0 feedback from all the emails, faxes, and snail mail love letters about Public Act 96-0644. Have any of you received anything? Please keep us all updated. Take Care, putintime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'putintime, have you considered to file a protest on the valuation of your home? I know it's another bureaucracy to deal with, however only you can do the math and choose your battles. My sympathies are with you. Edited May 29, 2010 by Commander Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putintime Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Commander Bob, I appriciate your advise, But it's not about my house value, which I know is less than $250,000 EAV by Public Act 95-0644 Section 35 ILCS 200/15-169 paragraph f standards. It just seems the IDOR (Illinois Department of Revenue) read the Public Act to suite their needs, passed it on to the county assesors, and pooped all over the Illinois disabled veterans in regards to the intent of this Public Act. It is goofy to me because many other states regarding disabled veterans & property tax is very clear. Why would so many House of Representatives co-sponsor HB0273 (over 75 co-sponsor) in the current IGA (Illinois General Assembly) that is very clear on the intent of the law to retify this delemia? Take Care, putintime Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
