Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 200/21-165)

Sec. 21-165. Payment of delinquent tax before sale.

Any person owning or
claiming properties upon which application for judgment is applied for
and any lienholder of record may, in
person or by agent, pay the taxes, and costs due, or in counties with 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, the taxes, special assessments, interest and costs due, to
the county collector at any time on or before the business  day immediately preceding the day the taxes are sold, and the collector must accept those payments.  A home rule unit may not regulate the hours and procedures employed by the county collector in a
manner that is inconsistent with this Section.  No deadline for the payment of taxes, special assessments, interest, or costs may be imposed by any county, including a home rule unit, if the deadline is inconsistent with this Section.  This Section is a limitation under
subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on
the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by
the State.
