in which the sale is in progress. The | 2 | | sale shall be continued from day to day,

any | 4 | | city, village or incorporated town interested in the collection | 5 | | of any tax
or special assessment, may, in default of bidders, | 6 | | withdraw from collection the
special assessment levied against | 7 | | any property by the corporate authorities of
the city, village | 8 | | or incorporated town. In case of a withdrawal, there shall be
| 9 | | no sale of that property on account of the delinquent special | 10 | | assessment
thereon.
| 11 | | (b) Until January 1, 2013, in every sale of property | 12 | | pursuant to the provisions of this Code, the collector may | 13 | | employ any automated means that the collector deems | 14 | | appropriate. Beginning on January 1, 2013, either (i) the | 15 | | collector shall employ an automated bidding system that is | 16 | | programmed to accept the lowest redemption price bid by an | 17 | | eligible tax purchaser, subject to the penalty percentage | 18 | | limitation set forth in Section 21-215, or (ii) all tax sales | 19 | | shall be digitally recorded with video and audio. All bidders | 20 | | are required to personally attend the sale and, if automated | 21 | | means are used, all hardware and software used with respect to | 22 | | those automated means must be certified by the Department and | 23 | | re-certified by the Department every 5 years. If the tax sales | 24 | | are digitally recorded and no automated bidding system is used, | 25 | | then the recordings shall be maintained by the collector for a | 26 | | period of at least 3 years from the date of the tax sale.
