Bill > SB2163

This bill amends the Property Tax Code to change the population threshold for multi-township assessors from 1,000 to 3,000 inhabitants, effective after the publication of the 2030 federal census data. Currently, townships with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants are required to elect multi-township assessors instead of individual township assessors. The bill expands this requirement to townships with fewer than 3,000 inhabitants after the 2030 census. If a township becomes newly qualified as a multi-township assessment area due to population changes revealed by the 2030 census, the new provisions will apply starting with the first general election after the census data is published. The bill defines a "maximum population amount" that changes from 1,000 to 3,000 inhabitants, and introduces the term "qualified township" to refer to townships that meet the population criteria. This change aims to streamline and potentially improve the efficiency of property tax assessment in smaller, less populous townships by encouraging collaborative assessment approaches.
