(Business and Economic Development Committee 1/15/2020)

Sponsored by: DONNA MILLER, County Commissioners

AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 74, ARTICLE II, REAL PROPERTY TAXATION

WHEREAS, the Cook County Property Tax Incentive program is one of the most effective tools to attract and retain businesses in Cook County; and

WHEREAS, the program is particularly important in areas that have economic stagnation and high property tax rates such as exists in the Southland; and

WHEREAS, part of the changes included a shift in the affidavit requirements of the incentive program, which changed from a 3-year requirement to an annual requirement. This change created an administrative burden on small businesses; and 

WHEREAS, the County seeks to minimize administrative burden and facilitate new business creation while maintaining compliance with tax incentive requirements; and

WHEREAS, extending the assessment year waiver would allow time to bring businesses into compliance with the incentive requirements;
