| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by adding Section |
| 5 |
| 5-1049.3 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (55 ILCS 5/5-1049.3 new) |
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-1049.3. Transfer of vacant property. If the county |
| 8 |
| owns a parcel of real property located in the county that (i) |
| 9 |
| is vacant, (ii) is less than 2,000 square feet, (iii) has been |
| 10 |
| exclusively maintained by an adjoining owner and his or her |
| 11 |
| predecessors in title continuously for at least 30 years, (iv) |
| 12 |
| has a fair market value of less than $1,000, and (v) has been |
| 13 |
| incorrectly recorded or omitted from the county tax rolls, |
| 14 |
| then, upon request of the adjoining owner and satisfactory |
| 15 |
| proof of items (i) through (v), the county must quit claim its |
| 16 |
| right, title, and interest in the property to the adjoining |
| 17 |
| owner for $1 in consideration. |
| 18 |
| The county is not required to transfer the parcel, however, |
| 19 |
| if the adjoining owner is in violation of any county ordinance |
| 20 |
| or is delinquent in the payment of any property taxes upon the |
| 21 |
| adjoining property.
|
| 22 |
| This Section is judicially enforceable.

| 28 |
| of this
Act, no reimbursement by the State is required for the |
| 29 |
| implementation of
any mandate created by Section 5-1049.3 of |
| 30 |
| the Counties Code.
