SB 685 says that homeowners who get the Persons with Disabilities Exemption, the Veterans with Disabilities Exemption, and the Senior Freeze Exemption will not need to re-apply for them in 2021. Prior to the passage of this bill, homeowners needed to re-apply every year to receive the exemption.

“This bill will benefit tens of thousands of homeowners in Cook County,” said Kaegi. “If the homeowner received any of these three exemptions this year, they will automatically get them again next year.”
