Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(35 ILCS 120/5b) (from Ch. 120, par. 444b)

Sec. 5b. State Tax Lien Index.

The Department of Revenue shall maintain a State Tax Lien Index of all tax liens filed in the State Tax Lien Registry as provided for by the State Tax Lien Registration Act.

A notice of lien may be filed after the issuance of a revised final
assessment pursuant to a rehearing or departmental review under Section 4
or Section 5 of this Act.

When the lien obtained pursuant to this Act has been satisfied
and the taxpayer has paid the Department in cash or by guaranteed remittance
an amount representing the filing fee for the lien and the filing fee for the
release of that lien,
the Department shall issue a release
of lien and file that release of lien in the State Tax Lien Registry. The release of lien shall contain in legible letters a
statement as
follows:

FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OWNER, THIS RELEASE SHALL

BE FILED IN THE STATE TAX LIEN REGISTRY.

When a certificate of complete or partial release of lien issued by the
Department is filed in the State Tax Lien Registry, the Department of Revenue shall permanently attach the certificate of release to the notice
of lien or notice of jeopardy assessment lien and shall enter the
certificate of release and the date in the "State Tax Lien Index" on the
line where the notice of lien or notice of jeopardy assessment lien is
entered.
