| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
| ||||||
5 | Section 21-135 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (35 ILCS 200/21-135)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 21-135. Mailed notice of application for judgment and | ||||||
8 | sale. Not less
than fifteen
15 days before the date of | ||||||
9 | application for judgment and sale of delinquent
properties, the | ||||||
10 | county collector shall mail, by registered or certified mail, a
| ||||||
11 | notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale to | ||||||
12 | the person shown
by the current collector's warrant book to be | ||||||
13 | the party in whose name the taxes
were last assessed and, if | ||||||
14 | applicable, to the party specified under Section
15-170. The | ||||||
15 | notice shall include the intended dates of application for | ||||||
16 | judgment
and sale and commencement of the sale, and a | ||||||
17 | description of the properties. The
county collector must | ||||||
18 | present proof of the mailing to the court along with the
| ||||||
19 | application for judgement.
| ||||||
20 | In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a copy of | ||||||
21 | this notice shall
also be mailed by the county collector by | ||||||
22 | registered or certified mail to any
lienholder of record who | ||||||
23 | annually requests a copy of the notice. The failure of
the | ||||||
24 | county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | lienholder
shall not affect the validity of the judgment.
| ||||||
2 | In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, notice | ||||||
3 | shall not be mailed to
any person when, under Section 14-15, a | ||||||

by the county assessor | ||||||

county assessor and board of
appeals (until the | ||||||
6 | first Monday in December 1998 and the board of
review
beginning
| ||||||
7 | the first Monday in December 1998 and thereafter),
except as | ||||||
8 | provided by court order under Section 21-120.
| ||||||
9 | The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each | ||||||
10 | sale to cover
the costs of registered or certified mailing and | ||||||
11 | the costs of advertisement
and publication.
If a taxpayer pays | ||||||
12 | the taxes on the property after the notice of the
forthcoming | ||||||
13 | application for judgment and sale is mailed but before the sale | ||||||
14 | is
made, then the collector shall collect $10 from the taxpayer | ||||||
15 | to cover the costs
of registered or certified mailing and the | ||||||
16 | costs of advertisement and
publication.
