Board authorizes challenge to property-tax appeals, citing potential revenue loss
Summary
Mount Vernon SD 80 approved a resolution authorizing the district to intervene in Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings after administrators reported numerous recent appeals and warned of potential revenue loss.
Superintendent Ryan Swan told the board the district had received numerous property-tax appeals in recent weeks and said the district should challenge those appeals given the potential impact on revenue. "Due to the potential revenue loss, the district should dispute the appeals," Swan said. The board voted to approve a resolution authorizing intervention before the Illinois PTAB on a 6–0 roll call.
The resolution authorizes legal/administrative action to protect district tax receipts; the board did not detail litigation counsel or specific appeals at the meeting, and steps to pursue each appeal will follow board authorization.
