SB2871 makes permanent the automatic renewal of homestead exemptions for persons with disabilities in Illinois.

SB2871 amends the Property Tax Code to permanently allow chief county assessment officers to renew homestead exemptions for persons with disabilities without requiring an annual application. This change applies to all counties in Illinois. The bill also specifies that the exemption continues if the person with a disability moves into a facility but their spouse remains in the home or if the home remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person with a disability.
