| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

| ||||||

9 | required to include amounts described in
paragraphs (c) through | ||||||
10 | (k) of Section 21-355 in the payment for redemption or
the | ||||||
11 | amount received for redemption, nor shall payment thereof be a | ||||||
12 | charge on
the property sold for taxes, unless the tax | ||||||
13 | certificate holder has filed and
posted with the county clerk | ||||||
14 | prior to redemption and in any event not less than
30 days | ||||||
15 | prior to the expiration of the period of redemption or extended | ||||||
16 | period
of redemption an official, original or duplicate receipt | ||||||
17 | for payment of those
fees, costs and expenses permitted under | ||||||

23 | original or duplicate receipt as an electronic record, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county clerk shall acknowledge receipt of the record and shall | ||||||
2 | provide confirmation in the same manner to the certificate | ||||||
3 | holder. The confirmation from the county clerk shall indicate | ||||||
4 | the date of receipt and shall serve as proof that the document | ||||||
5 | was received by the county clerk. The county clerk shall not be | ||||||
6 | required to include amounts described in paragraphs (c) through | ||||||
7 | (k) of Section 21-355 in the payment for redemption or
the | ||||||
8 | amount received for redemption, nor shall payment thereof be a | ||||||
9 | charge on
the property sold for taxes, unless the purchaser or | ||||||
10 | his or her assignee obtains this acknowledgement of delivery.
| ||||||

| ||||||
14 | (35 ILCS 200/21-385)
| ||||||
15 | Sec. 21-385. Extension of period of redemption. The
| ||||||
16 | purchaser or his or her assignee of property
sold for | ||||||
17 | nonpayment of general taxes or special assessments may extend
| ||||||
18 | the period of redemption at any time before the expiration of | ||||||
19 | the
original period of redemption, or thereafter prior to the | ||||||
20 | expiration of any
extended period of redemption, for a period | ||||||
21 | which will expire not later than 3
years from the date of sale, | ||||||
22 | by filing with the county clerk of
the county in which the | ||||||
23 | property is located a written notice to that
effect describing | ||||||
24 | the property, stating the date of the sale and
specifying the | ||||||
25 | extended period of redemption. Upon receiving the notice, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county clerk shall stamp the date of receipt upon the notice. | ||||||
2 | If the notice is submitted as an electronic record, the county | ||||||
3 | clerk shall acknowledge receipt of the record and shall provide | ||||||
4 | confirmation in the same manner to the certificate holder. The | ||||||
5 | confirmation from the county clerk shall include the date of | ||||||
6 | receipt and shall serve as proof that the notice was filed with | ||||||
7 | the county clerk. The county clerk shall not be required to | ||||||
8 | extend the period of redemption unless the purchaser or his or | ||||||
9 | her assignee obtains this acknowledgement of delivery. If prior | ||||||
10 | to the
expiration of the period of redemption or extended | ||||||
11 | period of redemption
a petition for tax deed has been filed | ||||||
12 | under Section
22-30, upon application of the petitioner, the | ||||||
13 | court shall allow the
purchaser or his or her assignee to | ||||||
14 | extend the period of redemption after
expiration of the | ||||||
15 | original period or any extended period of redemption,
provided | ||||||
16 | that any extension allowed will expire not later than 3 years | ||||||
17 | from the
date of sale. If the period of redemption is extended, | ||||||
18 | the purchaser or his or
her assignee must give the notices | ||||||
19 | provided for in Section 22-10 at the
specified times prior to | ||||||
20 | the expiration of the extended period of redemption by
causing | ||||||
21 | a sheriff (or if he or she is disqualified, a coroner) of the | ||||||
22 | county in
which the property, or any part thereof, is located | ||||||
23 | to serve the notices as
provided in Sections 22-15 and 22-20.
| ||||||
24 | The notices may also be served as provided in Sections 22-15 | ||||||
25 | and 22-20 by a
special process server appointed by the court | ||||||
26 | under Section 22-15.
