| 1 | 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 21-150 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (35 ILCS 200/21-150)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 21-150. Time of applying for judgment. Except as | ||||||
| 8 | otherwise provided in
this Section or by ordinance or | ||||||
| 9 | resolution enacted under subsection (c) of
Section 21-40, in | ||||||
| 10 | any county with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, all | ||||||
| 11 | applications for judgment and order of sale for taxes and
| ||||||
| 12 | special assessments on delinquent properties shall be made | ||||||
| 13 | within 90 days after the second installment due date. In Cook | ||||||
| 14 | County, all applications for judgment and order of sale for | ||||||
| 15 | taxes and special assessments on delinquent properties shall be | ||||||
| 16 | made (i) by July 1, 2011 for tax year 2009, (ii) by July 1, 2012 | ||||||
| 17 | for tax year 2010, (iii) by July 1, 2013 for tax year 2011, | ||||||
| 18 | (iv) by July 1, 2014 for tax year 2012, and (v) by July 1 of the | ||||||
| 19 | calendar year following the second installment due date for | ||||||
| 20 | within 90 days after the second installment due date for tax | ||||||
| 21 | year 2013 and each tax year thereafter. In those counties which | ||||||
| 22 | have adopted an ordinance under Section
21-40, the application | ||||||
| 23 | for judgment and order of sale for delinquent taxes
shall be | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | made in December. In the 10 years next following the completion | ||||||
| 2 | of
a general reassessment of property in any county with | ||||||
| 3 | 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, made under an order of the | ||||||
| 4 | Department, applications for judgment
and order of sale shall | ||||||
| 5 | be made as soon as may be and on the day specified in
the | ||||||
| 6 | advertisement required by Section 21-110 and 21-115. If for any | ||||||
| 7 | cause the
court is not held on the day specified, the cause | ||||||
| 8 | shall stand continued, and it
shall be unnecessary to | ||||||
| 9 | re-advertise the list or notice.
| ||||||
| 10 | Within 30 days after the day specified for the application | ||||||
| 11 | for judgment the
court shall hear and determine the matter. If | ||||||
| 12 | judgment is rendered, the sale
shall begin on the date within 5 | ||||||
| 13 | business days specified in the notice as
provided in Section | ||||||
| 14 | 21-115. If the collector is prevented from advertising and
| ||||||
| 15 | obtaining judgment within the time periods specified by this | ||||||
| 16 | Section, the collector may obtain
judgment at any time | ||||||
| 17 | thereafter; but if the failure arises by the county
collector's | ||||||
| 18 | not complying with any of the requirements of this Code, he or | ||||||
| 19 | she
shall be held on his or her official bond for the full | ||||||
| 20 | amount of all taxes and
special assessments charged against him | ||||||
| 21 | or her. Any failure on the part of the
county collector shall | ||||||
| 22 | not be allowed as a valid objection to the collection of
any | ||||||
| 23 | tax or assessment, or to entry of a judgment against any | ||||||
| 24 | delinquent
properties included in the application of the county | ||||||
| 25 | collector.
