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.

Sec. 380.

Proof of service of notice; publication of notice.

The sheriff or coroner serving notice under Section 375 shall
endorse his or
her return thereon and file it with the clerk of the circuit court and it shall
be a part of the court record.  A special process server appointed under
Section 375 shall make his or her return by affidavit and shall file it with
the clerk of the circuit court, where it shall be a part of the court record.
If a sheriff, special process server, or coroner to whom any notice is
delivered for service, neglects or refuses to make the return, the purchaser or
his or her assignee may petition the court to enter a rule requiring the
sheriff, special process server, or coroner to make return of the notice on
a day to be fixed by the
court, or to show cause on that day why he or she should not be attached for
contempt of the court. The purchaser or assignee shall cause a written notice
of the rule to be served upon the sheriff, special process server, or
coroner.  If good and sufficient cause to excuse the sheriff, special process
server, or coroner is not shown, the court shall adjudge him or her guilty of
contempt, and shall proceed to punish him as in other cases of contempt.

If the mobile home is located in a municipality in a county with less than
3,000,000 inhabitants, the purchaser or his or her assignee shall also publish
a notice as to the owner or party interested, in some newspaper published in
the municipality.  If the mobile home is not in a municipality in a county with
less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, or if no newspaper is published therein,
the
notice shall be published in some newspaper in the county.  If no newspaper is
published in the county, then the notice shall be published in the newspaper
that is published nearest the county seat of the county in which the mobile
home is located. If the owners and parties interested in the mobile home upon
diligent inquiry are unknown to the purchaser or his or her assignee, the
publication as to such owner or party interested, may be made to unknown owners
or parties interested.  Any notice by publication given under this Section
shall be given 3 times at any time after filing a petition for tax certificate
of title, but not less than 3
months nor more than 5 months prior to the expiration of the period of
redemption.  The publication shall contain (a) notice of the filing of the
petition for tax certificate of title, (b) the date on which the petitioner
intends to make application for an order on the petition that a tax certificate
of title issue, (c) a description of the mobile home, (d) the date upon which
the mobile home was sold, (e) the taxes for which it was sold and (f) the date
on which the period of redemption will expire. The publication shall not
include more than one mobile home listed and sold in one description, except as
provided in Section 35, and except that when more than one mobile home is owned
by one person, all of the mobile homes owned by that person may be included in
one notice.
