Ordinance Submission Instructions

Submit your certified ordinance using one of these methods:

Note: Please include a contact phone number or email with your ordinance. 

  1. Mailing the certified ordinance to
        Local Tax Allocation Division (3-500)
        Illinois Department of Revenue
        101 West Jefferson Street
        Springfield, IL 62702    
                OR
  2. Submitting through MyLocalTax

Login to MyLocal Tax and submit the file using the“Submit Certified Ordinance or Resolution” function found under “View More Account Options.” NOTE: This function is only available to users with confidential access, which requires a reciprocal agreement between your local government and IDOR.  If you don’t already have an agreement in place, you are better served to just mail the ordinance. 

Ordinances may be passed at any time, but meeting the deadline is important to avoid losing out on potential revenue.

All ordinances submitted to LTAD must be certified. Certification means:

  • The ordinance includes a certification page from the clerk.
  • It has a raised or stamped seal, unless submitted through MyLocalTax.

Once IDOR receives an ordinance, the ordinance will be reviewed.
