 6        (35 ILCS 200/22-35)
 7        Sec.   22-35.  Reimbursement   of   municipality   before
 8    issuance  of tax deed.  Except in any proceeding in which the
 9    tax purchaser is a county acting  as  a  trustee  for  taxing
10    districts  as  provided  in  Section  21-90, an order for the
11    issuance of a tax deed under this Code shall not  be  entered
12    affecting the title to or interest in any property in which a
13    city,  village or incorporated town has an interest under the
14    police and welfare power by  advancements  made  from  public
15    funds, until the purchaser or assignee makes reimbursement to
16    the  city,  village  or  incorporated  town  of  the money so
17    advanced or the city, village, or town waives its lien on the
18    property for the money so  advanced.   However,  in  lieu  of
19    reimbursement or waiver, the purchaser or his or her assignee
20    may  make  application for and the court shall order that the
21    tax purchase be set aside as a sale in error.   A  filing  or
22    appearance  fee  shall  not be required of a city, village or
23    incorporated town seeking to enforce  its  claim  under  this
24    Section in a tax deed proceeding.
