Illinois landowners still cannot sign up for the conservation program that will let them pay reduced property taxes in exchange for managing woodlands, prairies and wetlands for wildlife. Hasn't anyone told Springfield that the year is nearly over?
The law was to take effect immediately upon signing by the Ayatollah , erhh, we mean the Governor, on the first of October. So far, no sign-up is available through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the program.
The lack of a sign-up could mean that landowners will pay property taxes on non-agricultural land at a much higher tax rate until the new law is implemented.
