55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

(55 ILCS 5/5-32054) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32054)

Sec. 5-32054.

Payment of assessment with vouchers or bonds.

Any property owner may pay the assessment wholly or in part, either before
or after it is due and whether or not the assessment has been withdrawn
from collection or the property assessed has been forfeited to the State
for non-payment of that assessment with the bonds or vouchers issued under
this Division on account of that assessment. Such bonds may be
applied to the payment of any and all installments, but only such of those
bonds may be used as are next in numerical order of redemption at the time
of making such payment. In making such payments the vouchers and bonds
shall be taken at their par value and interest accrued to the date of
making the payment. All vouchers and bonds received in payment of such an
assessment shall be cancelled by the officer receiving the vouchers or
bonds, as of the date of their receipt and then deposited with the
treasurer of the county issuing the vouchers or bonds.

However, when the amount of the assessment is less than that of a bond
or voucher, the officer receiving the same shall issue a receipt for the
balance which shall entitle the owner to the same rights, except as to
negotiability, as if the receipt were the original bond or voucher in the
amount of the balance. Any such endorsement on any such bond or voucher
shall be made by writing or stamping across the face thereof the words
"payments upon this bond (or voucher) are listed upon the back".

(55 ILCS 5/5-32055) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32055)

Sec. 5-32055.

Claim or lien of persons accepting vouchers or bonds.

No person accepting the vouchers or bonds as provided in this Division shall
have any claim or lien upon the county in any event for the payment of his
vouchers or bonds or the interest thereon, except from the collection of
the assessment against which the vouchers or bonds are issued. The county,
nevertheless, shall not be in any way liable to the holders of these
vouchers or bonds in case of a failure to collect the assessment, but with
all reasonable diligence, so far as it can legally do so, it shall cause a
valid special assessment to be levied and collected to pay these bonds and
vouchers, until all bonds and vouchers are fully paid. Any holder of
vouchers or bonds or his assigns, shall be entitled to summary relief by
way of mandamus or injunction to enforce the provisions of this Section.
