(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or after it is due and whether or not the assessment has been withdrawn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".
