AN ACT to amend the Illinois Municipal Code by changing
Sections 9-2-84 and 9-2-88.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Sections 9-2-84 and 9-2-88 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/9-2-84) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-84)
Sec. 9-2-84. In counties having a population of less than
1,000,000, the collector of the municipality, at any time
after August 15 in each year, shall publish an advertisement
that a return will be made to the general officer of the
county having authority to receive State and county taxes of
all unpaid special assessments or installments thereof
matured and payable, or interest thereon, or interest due to
the preceding January 2 on installments not yet matured on
all warrants in his hands. This advertisement (1) shall
contain a list of the delinquent lands, town lots, and real
property upon which the special assessment or installments
thereof or interest thereon remain unpaid, the name of the
person shown by the county collector's current warrant book
to be the party in whose name the general real estate taxes
were last assessed for each such property, the total amount
due thereon, and the year for which the same are due; (2)
shall give notice that the general officer of the county
having authority to receive State and county taxes in the
county in which those lands, town lots, or real property may
be located, will make application on the day specified
therein, for judgment against those lands, town lots, and
real property for those special assessments, matured
installments of special assessments, interest and costs due
thereon, and for an order to sell those lands, town lots, and
real property for the satisfaction thereof; and (3) shall
give notice that on the Monday fixed by that general officer
of the county for sale, all the lands, town lots, and real
property, for the sale of which an order is made, will be
exposed to public sale at the court house in that county for
the amount of special assessments and matured installments of
special assessments, interest and costs due thereon. The
advertisement shall be sufficient notice of the intended
application for judgment and of the sale of those lands, town
lots, and real property under the order of the court.
Publication of the advertisement shall be made at least
once not more than 30 nor less than 15 days in advance of the
date upon which the judgment is to be sought. Such
publication shall be made in one or more newspapers published
in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published therein
then in one or more newspapers with a general circulation in
the municipality. In municipalities with less than 500
inhabitants, publication may instead be made by posting a
notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality.
The municipal collector shall add to all special
assessments and matured installments of special assessments
and the interest thereon, when paid after August 15, in the
year when they became due and payable, an amount equal to the
actual costs, not to exceed 0.2% of the assessed value of the
sum of 10 cents for each lot, tract, or parcel of land upon
which payment is made, to cover the cost of the advertisement
as required in this Division 2.

which special assessments remain due and unpaid, the date of
sale, a description of the land or lots, and the amount of
the special assessments together with interest and costs due

county collector's current warrant book. For each such notice
the collector of the municipality shall charge an amount
equal to the actual costs, not to exceed 0.02% of the
assessed value of each parcel, 10 cents to be taxed and
