High Stakes Tax Disputes
Large oil and energy companies have an interest in paying lower property taxes. It improves their bottom line. Protecting the interests of school districts and other taxing authorities against powerful corporations takes experience and skill. The stakes are high. We can help.
Whitt Law LLC is one of very few firms in Illinois with extensive experience in matters involving the assessment of large, special purpose properties, including electric generating stations and oil refineries. We regularly provide advice, counsel, and litigation services to taxing bodies in communities which host Exelon's Braidwood, Byron, Dresden, LaSalle and Quad Cities nuclear power stations, as well as those hosting natural gas and coal-fired electric generating stations.
Whitt Law LLC has also been called upon to provide advice, counsel, and litigation services to local governments hosting Mobil Oil's refinery in Joliet, Illinois and Marathon Ashland Petroleum's refinery in Robinson, Illinois. Whether through litigation or negotiation, our goal is to seek, and we have been successful in securing, long-term solutions resulting in financial stability and reasonable tax rates for our clients for years to come.
Whitt Law LLC represents the Fair Assessment Information Resource Committee (FAIRCOM), which is a trust of local governments dedicated to the maintenance of fair and equitable assessments and taxation of electric generating stations throughout Illinois. In the Fall of 1997, the Illinois General Assembly enacted legislation providing for deregulation of the electric utility industry. Under Whitt Law LLC's leadership, FAIRCOM was successful in securing passage of Public Act 90-562, which assured a stable financial environment for local taxing bodies.
