CLASS 6B
ELIGIBILITY BULLETIN
Cook County Living Wage Ordinance
Please be advised that every applicant for this incentive will be required to provide an affidavit
to the Assessor's Office to confirm compliance with the Cook County Living Wage Ordinance.
The Cook County Assessor will not grant any request for incentive classification until it
receives the required affidavit.
Incentive Benefits
The Class 6b classification is designed to encourage industrial development throughout Cook
County by offering a real estate tax incentive for the development of new industrial facilities, the
rehabilitation of existing industrial structures, and the industrial reutilization of abandoned
buildings. The goal of Class 6b is to attract new industry, stimulate expansion and retention of
existing industry and increase employment opportunities.
Under the incentive provided by Class 6b, qualifying industrial real estate would be eligible for the
Class 6b level of assessment from the date that new construction or substantial rehabilitation is
completed and initially assessed or, in the case of abandoned property, from the date of
substantial re -occupancy. Properties receiving Class 6b will be assessed at 10% of market value
for the first 10 years, 15% in the 11 th year and 20% in the 12th year. This constitutes a
substantial reduction in the level of assessment and results in significant tax savings. In the
absence of this incentive, industrial real estate would normally be assessed at 25% of its market
value.
Where buildings or other structures qualify for the incentive as new construction or as abandoned
property as defined below, the reduced level of assessment under Class 6b will apply to those
structures in their entirety as well as to the land upon which they are situated. Where there is
substantial rehabilitation of an existing structure which has not been abandoned, the reduced
incentive level of assessment is applicable to the additional market value attributable to the
rehabilitation, including qualified land related to the rehabilitation. (Please note that the
additional value attributable to the rehabilitation for assessment purposes is likely to be
lower than the actual amount spent on the rehabilitation.) Land qualifies when the
rehabilitation adds vertical or horizontal square footage to the improvements. The amount of land
eligible for the incentive shall be in such proportion as the square footage added by the
rehabilitation bears to the total square footage of the improvements on the parcel.

Eligibility Requirements
Real estate is eligible for Class 6b status under the following conditions:
1. The real estate is used primarily for "industrial purposes".
2. There is either (a) new construction, (b) substantial rehabilitation, or (c) substantial re -
occupancy of "abandoned" property.
3. An Eligibility Application and supporting documents have been timely filed with the Office
of the Assessor according to deadlines as set forth in the "What Must Be Filed" and "Time
for Filing" sections of this Bulletin.
4. The municipality in which such real estate is located (or the County Board, if the real
estate is located in an unincorporated area) must, by lawful resolution or ordinance,
expressly state that it supports and consents to the filing of a Class 6b Application and that
it finds Class 6b necessary for development to occur on the subject property.
The following definitions, as set forth in the Cook County Real Property Assessment
Classification Ordinance, pertain to the Class 6b incentive provision:
Industrial purposes: "Any real estate used primarily in manufacturing ... or in the extraction
or processing of raw materials unserviceable in their natural state to create new physical
products or materials, or in the processing of materials for recycling, or in the transportation or
storage of raw materials or finished or partially finished physical goods in the wholesale
distribution of such materials or goods for sale or leasing."
Manufacturing: "The material staging and production of goods used in procedures
commonly regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or assembling which changes
existing material into new shapes, new qualities, or new combinations and including research
and development associated with the production of goods."
Abandoned property: "Buildings and other structures that, after having been vacant and
unused for at least 24 continuous months, are purchased for value by a purchaser in whom
the seller has no direct financial interest." An exception to this definition shall be, "if the
municipality or the Board of Commissioners, as the case may be, finds that special
circumstances justify finding that the property is `abandoned' for the purpose of Class 6b."
The finding of abandonment, along with the specification of the special circumstances, shall
be included in the resolution or ordinance supporting and consenting to the incentive
application. Not withstanding the foregoing, special circumstances may not be determined
to justify finding that a property is deemed "abandoned" where:
A. There has been a purchase for value and the buildings and other structures have not
been vacant and unused prior to such purchase; or
B. There has been no purchase for value and the buildings and other structures have
been vacant and unused for less than 24 continuous months.
If the ordinance or resolution containing a finding of "special circumstances" is that of a
municipality, the approval of the County Board of Commissioners is required to validate
such a finding that the property is deemed "abandoned" for purposes of the incentive, and a
resolution to that effect shall be included with the eligibility application.

Page 7 of 26
What Must Be Filed
An applicant seeking the reclassification of real estate to Class 6b is required to file a "Class 6b
Eligibility Application" with the Office of the Assessor. At the time of filing the application, a filing
fee of $500.00 must be paid. In addition, an applicant may submit, at the same time, a certified
copy of an ordinance or resolution adopted by the municipality in which the real estate is located
(or the County Board, if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area) expressly stating that
it supports and consents to the filing of a Class 6b Application and that it finds Class 6b
necessary for development to occur on the subject property. If the resolution is not filed at the
time the Eligibility Application is submitted to the Assessor, the applicant must file, at that time, a
letter from the municipality or the County Board confirming that a resolution or ordinance
supporting the incentive has been requested. If the applicant is seeking to apply based on the
reoccupation of abandoned property and will be seeking a finding of "special circumstances"
from the municipality, in addition to obtaining a letter from the municipality confirming that a
resolution or ordinance supporting the incentive has been requested, the applicant must also
file a letter from the County Board confirming that a resolution validating a municipal finding of
special circumstances has been requested.
Should the municipality or the County Board, at a later date, deny the applicant's request for a
resolution or ordinance, whether or not construction or re -occupancy has begun, the applicant will
be deemed ineligible for reclassification to Class 6b. Any information that is not known or any
supporting documents that are not available at the time of the initial filing must be submitted as a
supplement to the Application.
After the construction or re -occupancy has taken place, an applicant must also file an "Incentives
Appeal Form" requesting that the real estate be reclassified to Class 6b. At the time of filing the
appeal, an appeal fee of $100.00 must be paid. If a resolution from the municipality where the
property is located, or the Cook County Board of Commissioners if located in an unincorporated
area, was not filed with the Eligibility Application, the applicant must file a certified copy of the
resolution or ordinance supporting the incentive at this time. No final action on a request for
reclassification to Class 6b will be taken until an Appeal and an Eligibility Application, along with
the required documentation as described therein, are completed and filed with the Office of the
Assessor.
In addition, during the term of the incentive, the Class 6b recipient must file a triennial affidavit
attesting to the use of the property and the number of workers employed at the Class 6b site.
The Assessor will mail Class 6b recipients the affidavit forms at the time of their triennial
reassessments. The affidavit must be signed, notarized and returned to the Assessor within
three weeks. Failure to file the triennial affidavits within that time will result in the loss of the
incentive.
Time for Filing
The Eligibility Application along with the appropriate resolution or letter confirming that a
resolution has been requested must be filed with the Assessor prior to, but no earlier than one
year before, commencement of new construction (excluding demolition, if any) or substantial
rehabilitation. With respect to abandoned property, the eligibility application must be made to
the Assessor prior to the commencement of the reoccupation of the vacant and unused
property-
3 of 4
Page 8 of 26
Where reoccupation of "abandoned" property and subsequent substantial rehabilitation is
planned, a single Eligibility Application and resolution, ordinance, or letter confirming that a
resolution has been requested, may be filed for both situations, provided that the Application is
filed prior to the commencement of reoccupation and such rehabilitation.
To finalize the classification change, a "Real Estate Assessed Valuation Appeal" must be filed
after the construction or re -occupancy has taken place. In instances where a certified copy of an
ordinance or resolution expressly stating that the municipality or County Board supports and
consents to filing of a Class 6b Application has not yet been filed, it must be filed at this time. For
the purpose of certifying final assessments on a timely basis to the Board of Appeals, deadlines
for filing Appeals are established on a township basis. Check with the Office of the Assessor to
determine when the deadline occurs for a particular township.
The 6b classification may be renewed during the last year in which a property is entitled to a
10% assessment level or when the incentive is still applied at the 15% or 20% assessment
level, by filing a renewal application and a certified copy of a resolution or ordinance adopted
by the municipality in which the real estate is located, or by the County Board, if located in an
unincorporated area of Cook County, expressly stating that it supports and consents to the
renewal of the Class 6b incentive and that it has determined that the industrial use of the
property is necessary and beneficial to the local economy. The notice of intent to request
renewal will be forwarded by the Assessor's Office to the Cook County Board. The owners
must notify the Assessor's Office of their intent to request renewal at the time they request a
resolution or ordinance agreeing to the renewal from the municipality or County Board. The
number of renewal period requests is not limited.
Questions regarding Class 6b may be directed to the Development Incentives
Department of the Office of the Cook County Assessor, Room 301, 118 North Clark
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602, (312) 603-7529.

WARD
MANUFACTURING
Dear City of Evanston Councilmembers,
Ward Manufacturing is currently applying for continuation of our 6B tax status. I feel it is important
to share with the City Council what this tax incentive means to us, and what Ward contributes to the city
in return. As you are all aware, Cook County taxes are high in comparison to other Illinois counties. We
want to stay in Cook County, but we need your help.
Ward Manufacturing has been in cook county since 1944. We are 4tn generation family -owned
business. We currently employ 60 people here at our Evanston facilities, and an additional 8 employees
in our leased Morton Grove facility. (68 total) We just recently signed a contract for a new building at
2200 Greenleaf in Evanston and we plan to move all our Morton Grove employees to that facility
sometime in the 151 quarter of 2022. We plan on doing a considerable rehab to the Greenleaf building
which of course will generate more jobs and activity to the "West End" corridor. We plan to expand our
manufacturing into that building as well. We anticipate needing a minimum of 5 new employees in that
new facility and possibly 5 more in our current facility during 2022. Our commitment to Cook County
and the City of Evanston is strong.
Over the last 7 years we have been working with the manufacturing lab at Evanston High School. We
donate all the raw material for the manufacturing curriculum and have hosted many Manufacturing Day
events that have exposed hundreds of Evanston students to careers in manufacturing. We currently
employ 4 Evanston High school graduates hired after they attended one of these events. We are
committed to continue that process and hope to hire many more from Evanston.
Please help us contain our property taxes for the future, so we can continue to contribute to the
success of Evanston.
