Ill. Admin. Code tit. 17 § 528.60

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 43, October 25, 2024

Section 528.60 - Recertification and Continued Eligibility

a) After receiving landowner permits:

1) Illinois residents remain eligible for 5 years, if there is no change in ownership or residency affecting the permittee's eligibility for resident landowner permits.

2) Nonresident Illinois landowners remain eligible for one year, if there is no change in ownership affecting the permittee's eligibility for nonresident landowner permits.

b) If there is any change in circumstance affecting the permittee's eligibility for resident or nonresident landowner permits, the permittee must notify the Department of the change in circumstances by mailing notice to the address specified in Section 528.50(g).

c) Any permits received after a permittee becomes ineligible for resident or nonresident landowner permits shall be returned, unused, to the Department (with the notice required in subsection (b) of this Section), by mail to the address specified in Section 528.50(g).

d) If the permittee eligibility period expires and there has been no change in circumstance affecting the permittee's eligibility for landowner permits, the permittee may reapply for landowner permits by certification without submitting the additional documentation required of an initial applicant.

1) The recertification will include:

A) Information sufficient to identify the individual, the ownership right (including the owner's tax parcel ID number), and the specific permits requested.

B) A signed certification stating: I, ________________, certify no circumstances have changed that could affect my eligibility to receive landowner permits. I understand providing false information on this document is a Class A misdemeanor (see 520 ILCS 5/2.38). I understand that, if circumstances have changed or do change in the future that affect my eligibility for landowner permits, I have an obligation to notify the Department of the change and return any permits for which I am no longer eligible. Based on my attestation that I still qualify for landowner permits, I am requesting the permits marked above.

2) The recertification form is available at the Department's website at www.dnr.illinois.gov and in person at One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL.

3) The signed recertification form must be submitted within 90 days after the expiration date of the prior approved landowner permit. Failure to submit a timely recertification will not affect a landowner's eligibility for landowner permits, but landowners who do not submit a timely recertification must apply for permits in accordance with Section 528.50.
