(735 ILCS 5/12-910)
(from Ch. 110, par. 12-910)
Sec. 12-910. Proceedings to enforce judgment. If in the opinion of the
judgment creditors, or the officer holding a certified copy of a judgment
for enforcement against such individuals, the premises claimed by him or her
as exempt are worth more than $15,000, such officer shall summon
3 individuals,
as commissioners, who shall, upon oath, to be administered
to them by the officer, appraise the premises, and if, in their opinion,
the property may be divided without damage to the interest of the
parties, they shall set off so much of the premises, including the dwelling
house, as in their opinion is worth $15,000, and the
residue of the premises may be advertised and sold by such officer. Each
commissioner shall receive for his or her services the sum of $5 per day
for each day necessarily engaged in such service. The officer summoning such
commissioners shall receive such fees as may be allowed for serving
summons, but shall be entitled to charge mileage for only the actual
distance traveled from the premises to be appraised, to the residence of
the commissioners summoned. The officer shall not be required
to summon commissioners until the judgment creditor, or some one for him
or her, shall advance to the officer one day's fees for the commissioners,
and unless the creditor shall advance such fees the officer shall not be
required to enforce the judgment. The costs of such appraisement shall not
be taxed against the judgment debtor unless such appraisement
shows that the judgment debtor has property subject to such judgment.
