CCTO Real-time TPA System

Real-time TPA Payment System

NOTE: A law passed by the Illinois Legislature in 2009 raises the First Installment tax from 50% to 55% of the prior year's total tax (or 55% of the adjusted tax if an assessment certificate of error is certified by the previous November 30).

The due date for the Tax Year 2009 First Installment was Tuesday, March 2, 2010.

The due date for the Tax Year 2008 Second Installment was Tuesday, December 1, 2009.
