While we greatly appreciate the State s Attorney seeking such opinions, we must note the prior State s Attorney did nothing to resolve the issues raised in the County Farm case even though the matter was raised in February of last year. Had she actually taken the same steps as the current State s Attorney did, the County would be further down the road on getting an opinion from the Attorney General which may take as much as 4 years to get.
As it relates to the City of Shelbyville, it appears there is a consensus the farm ground in question is taxable. The question is, who pays that tax. The answer is found in the publications from the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDR), the law, and case law pertaining to the issue of public purpose.

A dog and a cat were killed in an accidental fire early Tuesday that significantly damaged a house in northeast Topeka s Oakland community. No people were hurt.
Firefighters were called just before 4:30 a.m. to the scene of the blaze at 427 N.E. Emmett, which preliminary investigation indicated was accidental and associated with a space heater, said Topeka Fire Marshal Todd Harrison.
He said the fire caused an estimated $25,000 in damage, including $20,000 to the building and $5,000 to its contents.
No people were home at the time the blaze began, Harrison said.
He said firefighters arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the two-story, wood frame house, where they began an offensive fire attack and kept the fire confined to that building.

Scotts Bluff County will soon begin the process of seeking out candidates to fill the County Assessor’s position being vacated by Amy Ramos.
Last week, Deputy Assessor Angela Dillman was appointed to the post on an interim basis while the process of finding Ramos’ replacement plays out.
County Board Chair Ken Meyer noted there are some very specific qualifications for the post, which includes certification by the state. “Continuing education goes on after you become certified, but there’s work experience that needs to go along with it, and managerial skills,” said Meyer, “and some other things we’ll go through when we do the interviews, background checks and those kind of things.”

Albemarle County announced today that the 2021 annual reassessment process is complete. On Jan. 29, notices will be mailed to taxpayers and the 2021 assessment data will also be available online that evening through the county’s GIS-Web.
The county’s total tax base increased by 1.4 percent over the 2020 year-end tax base due to the reassessment. The 2021 residential assessment changes are generally the result of appreciation in the housing market.
