To be eligible for the reduced fee herein set forth, a customer shall provide each year documentation to demonstrate that the customer meets the eligibility criteria set forth above, which may include, but not be limited to, a deed to the single-family dwelling; a lease for the single-family dwelling; documents that would prove the customer's principal residence and age such as the real estate tax bill for the single-family dwelling, a voter's registration card, a Driver's License, an Illinois Identification Card, an Alien Registration Card, Social Security Form 2458, Naturalization Papers, or a Birth Certificate; or proof of the most recent second-installment real estate tax bill for the single-family dwelling or such other documentation that serves to demonstrate the single-family dwelling's eligibility for a Cook County Senior Citizen Exemption. The Village Manager/Comptroller is authorized to establish additional eligibility criteria and rules for said reduced fee. In the event a customer no longer qualifies for the reduced fee, the customer shall notify the Village within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such ineligibility. If the Village determines that the reduced fee was approved under false pretenses or a customer fails to notify the Village of a change in eligibility within the required timeframe, the customer may be liable for any previously waived charges as well as any applicable penalties or fines.
