Public Act 098-0277 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning revenue.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing | ||||
Section 21-145 as follows:
| ||||
(35 ILCS 200/21-145)
| ||||
Sec. 21-145. Scavenger sale. At the same time the County | ||||
Collector annually
publishes the collector's annual sale | ||||
advertisement under Sections 21-110,
21-115 and 21-120, it is | ||||
mandatory for the collector in counties with 3,000,000
or more | ||||
inhabitants, and in other counties if the county board so | ||||
orders by
resolution, to publish an advertisement giving notice | ||||
of the intended
application for judgment and sale of all | ||||
properties upon which all or a part of
the general taxes for | ||||
each of 3 2 or more years, including the current tax
year, are | ||||
delinquent as of the date of
the advertisement. In no event may | ||||
there be more than 2 consecutive years
without a sale under | ||||
this Section. The term delinquent also includes
forfeitures. | ||||
The County Collector shall include in the advertisement and in | ||||
the
application for judgment and sale under this Section and | ||||
Section 21-260 the
total amount of all general taxes upon those | ||||
properties which are delinquent as
of the date of the | ||||
advertisement. In lieu of a single annual advertisement and
|
application for judgment and sale under this Section and | ||
Section 21-260, the
County Collector may, from time to time, | ||
beginning on the date of the
publication of the annual sale | ||
advertisement and before August 1 of the next
year, publish | ||
separate advertisements and make separate applications on
| ||
eligible properties described in one or more volumes of the | ||
delinquent list.
The separate advertisements and applications | ||
shall, in the aggregate, include
all the properties which | ||
otherwise would have been included in the single
annual | ||
advertisement and application for judgment and sale under this | ||
Section.
Upon the written request of the taxing district which | ||
levied the same, the
County Collector shall also include in the | ||
advertisement the special taxes and
special assessments, | ||
together with interest, penalties and costs thereon upon
those | ||
properties which are delinquent as of the date of the | ||
advertisement. The
advertisement and application for judgment | ||
and sale shall be in the manner
prescribed by this Code | ||
relating to the annual advertisement and application
for | ||
judgment and sale of delinquent properties.
