Some projects and tasks are not available year-round and may be available only at specific parks.

Under the Illinois exemption system, homeowners may exempt up to $15,000 of their home or other property covered by the homestead exemption. The Illinois homestead exemption requires that you be a legal owner of record to claim the exemption, meaning your name is listed on the deed to the property.
Some states allow debtors to choose between the state exemption system and a set of federal bankruptcy exemptions â but Illinois is not one of them. In Illinois, you must use the state exemptions below. In addition to this list, you may also use any applicable amounts in the federal nonbankruptcy exemptions. Unless noted otherwise, if a couple is married and filing jointly in Illinois, each spouse may claim the full amount of each exemption.
