Illinois Public Act 94-312, (35 ILCS 200/21-15) effective July 25, 2005, states “If an Illinois

resident who is a member of the Illinois National Guard or a reserve component of the armed

forces of the United States and who has an ownership interest in property taxed under this Act is

called to active duty for deployment outside the continental United States and is on active duty

on the due date of any installment of taxes due under this Act, he or she shall not be deemed

delinquent in the payment of the installment and no interest shall accrue or be charged as a

penalty on the installment until 180 days after that member returns from active duty. To be

deemed not delinquent in the payment of an installment of taxes and any interest on that

installment, the reservist or guardsperson must make a reasonable effort to notify the county

clerk and the county collector of his or her activation to active duty and must notify the county

clerk and the county collector within 180 days after his or her deactivation and provide

verification of the date of his or her deactivation. An installment of property taxes on the

property of any reservist or guardsperson who fails to provide timely notice and verification of

deactivation to the county clerk is subject to interest and penalties as delinquent taxes under this

Code from the date of deactivation.”
