11    the county collector shall mail, by registered  or  certified
12    mail,  a  notice  of the forthcoming application for judgment
13    and sale to the  person  shown  by  the  current  collector's
14    warrant  book  to  be  the party in whose name the taxes were
15    last assessed and, if  applicable,  to  the  party  specified
16    under  Section  15-170. The notice shall include the intended
17    dates of application for judgment and sale  and  commencement
18    of  the sale, and a description of the properties. The county

22    of this notice shall also be mailed by the  county  collector
23    by  registered  or certified mail to any lienholder of record
24    who annually requests a copy of the notice.  The  failure  of
25    the  county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery to

28    shall  not be mailed to any person when, under Section 14-15,

 5    sale  to  cover  the costs of registered or certified mailing

 7    pays the taxes on  the  property  after  the  notice  of  the
 8    forthcoming  application  for judgment and sale is mailed but
 9    before the sale is made, then the collector shall collect $10
10    from the  taxpayer  to  cover  the  costs  of  registered  or
11    certified   mailing   and  the  costs  of  advertisement  and
12    publication.
