65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal 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.

Sec. 9-3-42.

The corporate authorities by resolution shall direct some
officer of such municipality to file a petition in the name of such
municipality in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose the lien
as to the past due assessment, or installment thereof, and cause the real
estate against which such assessment, or installment thereof, is levied to
be sold to pay the same. As many lots, tracts and parcels of land as may be
desired may be joined in one suit so long as the lots, tracts and parcels
of land are delinquent for the same assessment or installment thereof
constituting liens against the real estate created under this Division 3.
Upon filing of the petition, notice shall be given by the clerk of the
court addressed "To All Owners, Parties Concerned and Persons Interested"
in the described tracts of real estate, setting forth a description of the
several tracts of real estate sought to be sold, the pendency of the
proceedings, the docket number of the cause, and stating the term of court
at which the petition will be heard. The notice shall be published by the
clerk of the court in a newspaper published and of general circulation in
the municipality where such real estate is situated if there is such a
newspaper. Otherwise, such notice shall be published in a newspaper
published and of general circulation in the county. Such notice shall be
published at least 30 days prior to the date set for the hearing in the
cause. The petition and notice shall give the court full jurisdiction of
all the parties interested as owner, occupant, lien claimant or otherwise,
in the several tracts of real estate described in the petition and notice.

Sec. 9-3-43.

The cause shall be heard as suits to foreclose mortgages on
real estate. The court shall ascertain and determine the amount of the
liens created under this Division 3 due as of the date of the entry of its
orders from each of the several tracts of real estate, specifying
separately the amount due on account of each tract. Judgment shall be
entered against the respective tracts for the amount of such assessment of
installments thereof, including interest, penalties and cost of suit. The
cost shall be apportioned to the respective tracts as the court determines
proper. In such judgment the court shall also order the respective tracts
of real estate sold by the general county officer having authority to
receive state and county taxes, unless the amount of the judgment
determined against the same shall be paid by a short date to be fixed by
the court. Appeals may be prosecuted as in other civil cases.
