Purchase and sale by county;
distribution of | 8 | | proceeds. When any
property is delinquent, or is forfeited for | 9 | | each of 2 or more
years, and is
offered for sale under any of | 10 | | the provisions of this Code, the County Board of
the County in | 11 | | which the property is located,
in its discretion, may bid, or, | 12 | | in
the case of forfeited property, may apply to purchase it, in | 13 | | the name of the
County as trustee for all taxing districts | 14 | | having an
interest in the property's
taxes or special | 15 | | assessments for the nonpayment of which the property is sold.
| 16 | | The presiding officer of the county board, with the advice and | 17 | | consent of the
Board, may appoint on its behalf
some officer or | 18 | | person to attend such sales
and bid or, in the case of | 19 | | forfeited property, to apply to the county clerk to
purchase. | 20 | | That officer or person shall be selected through a competitive | 21 | | bidding process. The presiding officer of the county board | 22 | | shall report annually to the county board the total amount paid | 23 | | to that officer or person for services provided under this |
| | | HB2648 | - 2 - | LRB098 08022 HLH 38113 b |
|
| 1 | | Section. If the presiding officer of the county board appoints | 2 | | an officer or person to attend the sale on behalf of the | 3 | | county, then the agreement or contract with the officer or | 4 | | person selected shall be made public. | 5 | | The County shall apply on the bid or purchase
the unpaid | 6 | | taxes and
special assessments due upon the property. No cash | 7 | | need be paid. The County
shall take all steps necessary to | 8 | | acquire title to the property and may manage
and operate the | 9 | | property. When a county, or other taxing district within the
| 10 | | county, is a petitioner for a tax deed, no filing fee shall be | 11 | | required.
When a county or other taxing district within the | 12 | | county is the petitioner
for a tax deed, one petition may be | 13 | | filed including all parcels that are tax
delinquent within the | 14 | | county or taxing district, and any publication made under
| 15 | | Section 22-20 of this Code may combine all such parcels within | 16 | | a single notice.
The notice shall list the street or common | 17 | | address, if known, of the
parcels for informational purposes.
| 18 | | The
county, as tax creditor and as trustee for other tax | 19 | | creditors, or other taxing
district within the county, shall | 20 | | not be required to allege and prove that all
taxes and special | 21 | | assessments which become due and payable after the sale to
the | 22 | | county have been paid nor shall the county be
required to pay | 23 | | the
subsequently accruing taxes or special assessments at any | 24 | | time. The county
board or its designee may prohibit the county | 25 | | collector from including the
property in the tax sale of one or | 26 | | more subsequent years. The lien of taxes and
special |
| | | HB2648 | - 3 - | LRB098 08022 HLH 38113 b |
|
| 1 | | assessments which become due and payable after a sale to a | 2 | | county
shall
merge in the fee title of the county, or other | 3 | | taxing district within the
county, on the issuance of a deed.
| 4 | | The County may sell or assign the property so
acquired, or | 5 | | the certificate of
purchase to it, to any party, including
| 6 | | taxing districts. The proceeds of that sale or
assignment, less | 7 | | all costs
of the county incurred in the acquisition and sale or
| 8 | | assignment of the
property, shall be
distributed to the taxing | 9 | | districts in proportion to their respective interests
therein.
| 10 | | Under Sections 21-110, 21-115, 21-120 and 21-405, a County | 11 | | may bid or
purchase only in the absence of other bidders.
