(55 ILCS 5/5-32034) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-32034)
Sec. 5-32034.
Contractor's claim or lien on special assessments.
No person obtaining contracts from the county and agreeing to be paid
out of special assessments, has any claim or lien upon the county in any
event, except from the collection of special assessments made or to be made
for the work contracted for. However, the county shall cause collections
and payments to be made with all reasonable diligence. If it appears that
such an assessment cannot be levied or collected the county nevertheless,
is not in any way liable to a contractor in case of failure to collect the
assessment, but so far as it can legally do so, with all reasonable
diligence, shall cause a valid assessment or assessments to be levied and
collected to defray the cost of the work until all contractors are fully
paid. Any contractor is entitled to the summary relief of mandamus or
injunction to enforce the provisions of this Section.
The county treasurer shall keep a separate account of each special
assessment warrant number, and of the moneys received thereunder.
