Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.
MUNICIPALITIES (65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code. 65 ILCS 5/11-74.2-14
(65 ILCS 5/11-74.2-14) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.2-14)
Sec. 11-74.2-14.
The corporate authorities may at any time transfer
and sell the fee simple title, or any lesser estate that they acquired
to all or any part of the real property within the redevelopment area.
No such sale shall be inconsistent with the provisions of paragraph (e)
of Section 11-74.2-8.
Such sales and transfers may be made to:
(1) Any individual, association or corporation, organized under the
laws of this State or of any other State or country, which may legally
make such investments in this State, including foreign and alien
insurance companies, as defined in Section 2 of the "Illinois Insurance
Code"; or
(2) Any body politic and corporate, public corporation or private
individual, corporation, association or interest empowered by law to
acquire, develop and use such real property for such uses, public or
private, as are in accordance with the final redevelopment plan.
To provide that the real property sold by the corporate authorities
is used in accordance with the final redevelopment plan, the corporate
authorities shall inquire into and satisfy themselves concerning the
financial ability of the purchaser to complete the redevelopment in
accordance with the redevelopment plan and shall require the purchaser
to execute in writing such undertakings as the corporate authorities may
deem necessary to obligate the purchaser to:
(1) Use the land for the purposes designated in the approved plan;
(2) Commence and complete the building of the improvements or the renovation
of the property within the periods of time which the corporate authorities fix
as reasonable; and
(3) Comply with such other conditions as are necessary to carry out
the purposes of the final redevelopment plan.
Any redevelopment area may be sold either as an entirety or in such
parcels as the corporate authorities may select. It is not necessary
that title be acquired to all real property within the redevelopment
area before the sale of a part thereof may be made as provided in this
Section. All real property sold shall be sold at its use value which may
be less than its acquisition cost. For purposes of this Division, use
value represents the value at which the corporate authorities determine
that such land should be made available in order that it may be
developed or redeveloped for the purposes specified in the final
redevelopment plan.

Sec. 11-74.2-15.
Any real property in the redevelopment area that has not
been sold, or in the case of commercial projects sold or leased, by the
corporate authorities within 5 years after they have acquired title to all
the real property in the area shall be sold by the corporate authorities at
public sale for cash to the highest bidder who obligates himself to
redevelop the property in accordance with the final redevelopment plan.
Notice of the sale and of the place where the final redevelopment plan may
be inspected shall be published once in a newspaper having a general
circulation in the municipality in which the real property is situated at
least 20 days prior to the date of the public sale. The notice shall
contain a description of the real property to be sold and a general
statement of the use for which such property may be developed under the
redevelopment plan.
The corporate authorities may reject the bids received if in their
opinion the highest bid does not equal or exceed the use value of the land
to be sold. Within 6 months after the bids have been rejected, the
corporate authorities shall again advertise for sale any real property then
remaining unsold. Each additional publication and offer for bids shall be
subject to the same requirements and conditions as the original
publication.
Any deed executed by the corporate authorities under this Division may
contain such restrictions as are required by the final redevelopment plan
and necessary building and zoning ordinances. All such deeds of conveyance
shall be executed in the name of the municipality by its chief executive
officer, and the seal of the municipality shall be attached to the deeds.

Sec. 11-74.2-16.
The corporate authorities are authorized and
empowered to incur indebtedness and issue revenue bonds in such amounts
as they deem necessary for the purpose of raising funds for carrying out
the provisions of a final redevelopment plan providing for the
eradication and elimination of commercial blight and conditions likely
to create blight and the acquisition, development or redevelopment of
commercial blight or conservation areas and any other area which may
constitute a redevelopment area within the municipality or for the
purpose of financing in whole or in part the cost of acquisition,
construction and financing of any commercial projects. The ordinance
authorizing the issuance of such revenue bonds shall specify the total
amount of bonds to be issued, the form and denomination, the date they
are to bear, the place at which they are payable, the date or dates of
maturity which shall not be later than 40 years after date, the rate of
interest
which shall not exceed that permitted in "An Act to authorize public corporations
to issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26,
1970, as now or hereafter amended. The ordinance
shall also specify the dates
on which
interest is payable. Such bonds shall be sold at private or public sale
at a price of not less than 97% of par. The bonds shall be executed by such officials as
may be provided in the bond ordinance. The bonds may be made
registerable to principal and may be made callable on any interest
payment date, with or without premium, plus accrued interest
after notice has been given in
the manner provided in the bond ordinance. The bonds shall remain valid
even though one or more of the officers executing the bonds cease to
hold office before the bonds are delivered.
The amendatory Acts of 1971, 1972 and 1973 are not a limit upon any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

The bonds shall contain a provision that the principal and
interest thereon shall be payable exclusively from the proceeds and
revenues of any commercial redevelopment plan or commercial project which
is financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of such bonds, together
with whatever funds of the municipality from whatever source derived as are

contribution from any other public or private body, instrumentality,
corporation or individual, or any duly executed contract for such pledge,
loan, grant or contribution or by the assignment of any lease obligation of
any commercial concern.

thereof. The bonds shall not be payable out of any funds of the
municipality except those indicated in this Section.
The bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction.
