PROP TX--RETURN OF OVERPAYMENT

Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that if any property tax is twice assessed for the same year, or assessed before it becomes taxable, and the erroneously assessed taxes have been paid either at sale or otherwise, or if properly assessed taxes have been overpaid (instead of or have been overpaid) by the same claimant or by different claimants, the county collector shall refund the taxes. Provides that in counties having a population of more than 3,000,000, if the county collector receives payment of any erroneously assessed taxes or overpayment of properly assessed taxes, the county collector shall: (1) pay, within 120 days after receipt of the payment or overpayment, a refund to the proper claimant regardless of whether a claim for refund is filed; or (2) when more than one person made the payment or overpayment and the county collector cannot determine to whom the refund should be made, send a notice within 30 days by certified mail return received requested after receipt of the payment or overpayment advising those persons that a refund is due and the procedures to follow to obtain a refund.
