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.

    Sec. 15. Notice of tax payments.

(a) When any mortgage
lender pays the property tax from an escrow account, the mortgage lender must give the borrower written notice of the following, within 45 business days after the tax payment:

        (1) the date the taxes were paid;
        (2) the amount of taxes paid; and
        (3) the permanent index number, mortgage account

number, address of the property, or other property description that is used for assessment and taxation purposes under the Property Tax Code.

(b) The notice required in subsection (a) may be included on or with other documents, notices, or statements provided to the borrower. If more than one borrower is obligated on the loan, only one borrower who is primarily liable on the loan need be given notice. Notice may be delivered, mailed, or transmitted by any usual means of communication.

(c) Notwithstanding the requirements in subsection (a), a mortgage lender that provides notice at least annually to a borrower in the manner provided in subsection (b) of a means of
communication for the borrower to access the
information set forth in subsection (a) by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, Internet access, or other means of communication, is deemed to be in
compliance with subsection (a).
