Board renews Historic Property Resolution allowing district to levy taxes on historic buildings
Summary
District 208 adopted its annual Historic Property Resolution, maintaining the board’s authority to levy taxes on historic properties by specifying that certain Illinois Property Tax Code assessment relief does not apply to district levies.
The Board of Education voted to approve the annual Historic Property Resolution (RESOLUTION #15235), reaffirming the district practice—adopted since the 1980s—of specifying that assessment relief for historic buildings under the Illinois Property Tax Code will not apply to taxes levied by the Board. The motion was moved by Lorena Gasca, seconded by William Durkin, and carried unanimously.
Board materials state the resolution permits the district to levy taxes on qualifying historic properties despite other relief that may exist in state statute; the minutes do not list specific properties or levy amounts. The resolution is an annual item the board records to maintain compliance with local tax administration practices.
