Illinois Fire

The Illinois Fire module may be used to allocate premiums covering risks within Illinois to the correct municipality or fire district.  Addresses that fall within the Chicago, Cicero, East St. Louis, Mount Prospect, and Wilmette city limits are assigned to these municipalities. Addresses that fall within other municipalities are compared to the Illinois Municipal League Fire Tax Bulletin to determine if and where the address is taxable.

If a good match is returned, the allocation for each policy is first determined by plotting a point to the Illinois map. If a poor match is returned, the source city is used.  The city name is then matched to a table that determines the fire district.  This table is derived from the Illinois Fire Dept Tax Code Numbers publication provided by the Illinois Municipal League.

The Illinois Municipal League and other Illinois municipal returns do not require a breakout of premiums by type.  Therefore, the Illinois Fire module does not differentiate between Premium Type Codes in the source ASCII file and groups all allocated premiums together.
