Dear Mr. Bauer:

                 ave o     tte in uiring wheth r he o   e f clerk of the circuit court (circuit

court cler  i considered a coun  o   e    p   oses of determining the political composition

of a board                     section 6-15 of the Property Tax Code (the Code) (35 ILCS

200/6-15 (West .4or the reasons stated below, it is my opinion that the office of circuit

court clerk is not a county office within the meaning of section 6-15 of the Code. Accordingly,

the composition of the board of review may not be determined based upon the results of an

election for circuit court clerk.
