HB1119 Enrolled                                LRB9003238DNmb

    AN ACT  to  amend  the  Property  Tax  Code  by  changing
Section 21-135.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by  changing
Section 21-135 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 200/21-135)
    Sec.  21-135.   Mailed notice of application for judgment
and  sale.   Not  less  than  15  days  before  the  date  of
application for judgment and sale of  delinquent  properties,
the  county  collector shall mail, by registered or certified
mail, a notice of the forthcoming  application  for  judgment
and  sale  to  the  person  shown  by the current collector's
warrant book to be the party in whose  name  the  taxes  were
last  assessed  and,  if  applicable,  to the party specified
under Section 15-170. The notice shall include  the  intended
dates  of  application for judgment and sale and commencement
of the sale, and a description of the properties. The  county
collector  must  present  proof  of  the mailing to the court
along with the application for judgement.
    In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a  copy
of  this  notice shall also be mailed by the county collector
by registered or certified mail to any lienholder  of  record
who  annually  requests  a copy of the notice. The failure of
the county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery  to
the lienholder shall not affect the validity of the judgment.
    In  counties  with  3,000,000 or more inhabitants, notice
shall not be mailed to any person when, under Section  14-15,
a  certificate  of  error  has  been  executed  by the county
assessor or by both the county assessor and board of  appeals
(until  the  first  Monday  in December 1998 and the board of
review beginning  the  first  Monday  in  December  1998  and
thereafter),  except as provided by court order under Section
21-120.
    The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each
sale to cover the costs of registered  or  certified  mailing
and the costs of advertisement and publication. If a taxpayer
pays  the  taxes  on  the  property  after  the notice of the
forthcoming application for judgment and sale is  mailed  but
before the sale is made, then the collector shall collect $10
from  the  taxpayer  to  cover  the  costs  of  registered or
certified  mailing  and  the  costs  of   advertisement   and
publication.
