The Property Tax Code has been amended by the Illinois General Assembly and will continue to offer owners property tax savings until 2024. Properties located within a qualified Township and census tract that have a Housing Assistance Payment contract can save between $500 and $1,500 on property taxes.

To qualify for the program:

  • The property must be located in a qualified Township (Eligible townships as well as instructions will be listed page 3 of the application).
  • The property must be located within a census tract that has a poverty level below 10%, using the most recent Census data. 
  • The property was rented to and occupied by a tenant who was participating in the Voucher program as of January 1st of the tax year for which the application is made.
  • The unit passed the most recent Housing Quality Standards inspection and is in compliance with local building codes.
  • The Landlord does not owe the Housing Authority any money.
  • The property has not received an abatement for more than 10 tax years.
  • The owner has completed a Tax Savings application form and submitted the $50 fee.
    • Money order & cashier's check are the only forms of payment accepted by LCHA.

Landlords can receive up to a 19% reduction in the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of the property depending on the number of qualified units. Qualified units are limited to two units or 20% of total units in building, whichever is greater.
