LOCAL APPROVAL
A certified copy of a resolution or ordinance from the municipality in which the real estate is located (or the
County Board, if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area) should accompany this Application. The
ordinance or resolution must expressly state that the municipality supports and consents to this Class 6B
Application and that it finds Class 6B necessary for development to occur on the subject property. If a resolution
is unavailable at the time the application is filed, a letter from the municipality or the County Board, as the case
may be, stating that a resolution or ordinance supporting the incentive has been requested may be filed with this
application instead. 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 file a letter from the County Board confirming that a resolution validating a municipal finding
of special circumstances has been requested. If, at a later date, the municipality or the County Board denies the
applicant's request for a resolution or ordinance, the applicant will be deemed ineligible for the Class 6B
incentive, whether or not construction has begun. In all circumstances, the resolution must be submitted by the
time the applicant files an "Incentive Appeal".
FINALIZING THE INCENTIVE PROCESS
In order to finalize the class change you will need to file an Incentive Appeal with supporting
documentation (including Proof of Occupancy) in the year that the property has been substantially
occupied. It is advised that you access our website (www. cookcountyassessor. com) to determine the
allowable filing dates for such action.
When filing an appeal requesting an Incentive Class Change, a $100.00 filing fee (made out to
the Cook Countv Assessor) must be included. The property cannot receive Class 611 designation
until you file an Incentive Appeal Form, AND this office grants reclassification for the parcel(s).
I, the undersigned, certify that I have read this Application and that the statements set forth in this Application
and in the attachments hereto are true and correct, except as those matters stated to be on information and belief
and as to such matters, the undersigned certifies that he/she believes the same to be true.
