§ 10-35 — Assessment and collection of taxes

The union of 2 or more townships or the division or alteration of a township after the assessor's books have been made out in any year shall not in any manner affect the assessment or collection of taxes assessable and collectible in that year, and those taxes may be assessed and collected in the same manner and by the same officers as if no division, union, or alteration had taken place. If any township has territory detached from it under Section 10-20, however, any tax previously levied by the township for the purpose of caring for poor and indigent persons for the present fiscal year shall be abated and shall not be extended by the county clerk.
