Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(35 ILCS 5/1105) (from Ch. 120, par. 11-1105)
Sec. 1105. Release of liens.
(a) In general.
Upon payment by the taxpayer to the Department in cash or by guaranteed
remittance of an amount representing the filing fees and charges for the lien
and the filing fees and charges for the release of that lien,
the Department shall release all or any portion of
the property subject to any lien provided for in this Act
and file that complete or partial release of lien in the State Tax Lien Registry
if it determines
that the release will not endanger or jeopardize the collection of the
amount secured thereby.
(b) Judicial determination. If on judicial review the final judgment
of the court is that the taxpayer does not owe some or all of the amount
secured by the lien against him, or that no jeopardy to the revenue exists,
the Department shall release its lien to the extent of such finding of
nonliability, or to the extent of such finding of no jeopardy to the
revenue.
The taxpayer shall, however, be liable for the filing fee imposed by the
Department to file the lien and the filing fee imposed to release
the lien. The filing fees shall be paid to the Department.
(c) Payment. The Department shall also release its jeopardy
assessment lien against the taxpayer whenever the tax and penalty covered
by such lien, plus any interest which may be due
and an amount representing the filing fee to file the lien and the filing fee
imposed to release that lien, are paid
by the taxpayer to the Department in cash or by guaranteed remittance.
(d) Certificate of release. The Department shall issue a certificate
of complete or partial release of the lien
upon payment by the taxpayer to the Department in cash or by guaranteed
remittance of an amount representing the filing fee imposed by the Department to
file the lien and the filing fee imposed to release that lien:
(1) to the extent that the fair market value of any |
| property subject to the lien exceeds the amount of the lien plus the amount of all prior liens upon such property;
|
|
(2) to the extent that such lien shall become
|
|
(3) to the extent that the amount of such lien is
|
| paid by the person whose property is subject to such lien, together with any interest and penalty which may become due under this Act between the date when the notice of lien is filed and the date when the amount of such lien is paid;
|
|
(4) to the extent that there is furnished to the
|
| Department on a form to be approved and with a surety or sureties satisfactory to the Department a bond that is conditioned upon the payment of the amount of such lien, together with any interest which may become due under this Act after the notice of lien is filed, but before the amount thereof is fully paid;
|
|
(5) to the extent and under the circumstances
|
| specified in this Section.
|
|
A certificate of complete or partial release of any lien shall be held
conclusive that the lien upon the property covered by the certificate is
extinguished to the extent indicated by such certificate.
Such release of lien shall be issued to the person, or his agent, against
whom the lien was obtained and shall contain in legible letters a statement as
follows:
FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OWNER, THIS RELEASE SHALL
BE FILED IN THE STATE TAX LIEN REGISTRY.
(e) Filing. When a certificate of complete or partial release of lien
issued by the Department is filed in the State Tax Lien Registry, the Department
shall
permanently attach the certificate of release to the notice of lien or
notice of jeopardy assessment lien and shall enter the certificate of
release and the date in the "State Tax Lien Index" on the line where the
notice of lien or notice of jeopardy assessment lien is entered.
