SENIOR CITIZEN REAL ESTATE DEFERRAL PROGRAM
Tax Year: 2008 (payable in 2009)
Dear Senior Citizen:
You have previously participated in the Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Program. If you are interested in
participating in the tax deferral program for the tax year 2008, please fill out the enclosed forms (IL-1017-TD, IL
1018-TD and “AFFIDAVIT OF TITLE STATUS”). These forms must be completed in order for you to participate in
the Program again this year. Please submit these forms together with:
Insurance Declaration – The page showing amounts of coverage on your home and the period of coverage.
Condominium owners must send this information covering the entire building. This may be obtained from the
Condominium Association. Submit PHOTOCOPY – not original.
YOUR HOME IS IN A TRUST: THE TAXPAYER’S SIGNATURE ON THESE FORMS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. BOTH
THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND TRUSTEE (usually a bank or a Trust Company) MUST SIGN FORM IL-
1017TD. THE TRUSTEE ALONE NEEDS TO SIGN IL-1018TD.
You do not need the consent of a mortgage lender or home equity loan lender to participate in the Tax Deferral
Program.
All forms, signed by the proper person, must be received by March 2, 2009 for you to participate in the Program.
No extensions of time are permitted. Remember, Form IL-1017TD, and Form IL-1018TD, must be signed by
the Trustee.
Please submit a copy of this letter with completed forms. If you have any questions, please contact general
information at (312) 443-5100.
Submit documents to:

Sincerely,
MARIA PAPPAS
