| AN ACT concerning revenue.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing |
| 5 |
| Section 21-205 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (35 ILCS 200/21-205)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 21-205. Tax sale procedures. The collector, in person |
| 8 |
| or by deputy,
shall attend, on the day and in the place |
| 9 |
| specified in the notice for the sale
of property for taxes, and |
| 10 |
| shall, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., or later at
the |
| 11 |
| collector's discretion, proceed to offer for sale, separately |
| 12 |
| and in
consecutive order, all property in the list on which the |
| 13 |
| taxes, special
assessments, interest or costs have not been |
| 14 |
| paid. However, in any county with
3,000,000 or more |
| 15 |
| inhabitants, the offer for sale shall be made between 8:00
a.m. |
| 16 |
| and 8:00 p.m. The collector's office shall be kept open during |
| 17 |
| all hours
in which the sale is in progress. The sale shall be |
| 18 |
| continued from day to day,
until all property in the delinquent |
| 19 |
| list has been offered for sale. However,
any city, village or |
| 20 |
| incorporated town interested in the collection of any tax
or |
| 21 |
| special assessment, may, in default of bidders, withdraw from |
| 22 |
| collection the
special assessment levied against any property |
| 23 |
| by the corporate authorities of
the city, village or |
| 24 |
| incorporated town. In case of a withdrawal, there shall be
no |
| 25 |
| sale of that property on account of the delinquent special |
| 26 |
| assessment
thereon.
|
| 27 |
| In every sale of property pursuant to the provisions of |
| 28 |
| this Code, the collector may employ any automated means that |
| 29 |
| the collector deems appropriate, provided that bidders are |
| 30 |
| required to personally attend the sale. The changes made by |
| 31 |
| this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly are |
| 32 |
| declarative of existing law.
