Sec. 21-115. Times of publication of notice. The advertisement shall be
published once at least 10 days before the day on which judgment is to be
applied for, and shall contain a list of the delinquent properties upon which
the taxes or any part thereof remain due and unpaid, the names of owners, if
known, the total amount due, and the year or years for which they are due. In
counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, advertisement shall include notice
of the registration requirement for persons bidding at the sale. Properties
upon which taxes have been paid in full under protest shall not be included in
the list.
The collector shall give notice that he or she will apply to the circuit
court on a specified day for judgment against the properties for the taxes, and
costs, and for an order to sell the properties for the satisfaction of the
amount due.
The collector shall also give notice of a date within the next 5 business
days after the date of application on which all the properties for the sale of
which an order is made will be exposed to public sale at a location within the
county designated by the county collector, for the amount of taxes, and cost
due. The advertisement published according to the provisions of this Section
shall be deemed to be sufficient notice of the intended application for
judgment and of the sale of properties under the order of the court.
A county with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants may, by joint agreement, combine its tax sale with the tax sale of one or more other contiguous counties; such a joint tax sale shall be held at a location in one of the participating counties. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section and Section 21-110, in the 10
years following the completion of a general reassessment of property in any
county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, made under an order of the
Department, the publication shall be made not sooner than 10 days nor more
than 90 days after the date when all unpaid taxes on property have become
delinquent.

Sec. 21-120.
Publication of notice of application for judgment; special
assessments; counties of 3,000,000 or more. In all cities, villages and
incorporated towns in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, separate
advertisements may be made giving notice of an intended application for
judgment and for an order of sale on account of delinquent special assessments
at any time after the first day of August after the special assessments have
become delinquent. The procedure in that case is to be in all other respects,
except as to the time of making advertisement and application for judgment and
sale, the same as in the case of delinquent general taxes. There shall not be
included in the advertisement and application for judgment and sale provided by
this Section any properties which are included in the advertisement and
application for judgment and sale under Section 21-145.
No advertisement or publication may include parcels for which, under Section
14-15, certificates of error have been executed by the county assessor, or by
both the county assessor and board of appeals. In the absence of notice under
Section 21-135, or the absence of publication under this Section, the court
shall retain jurisdiction to enter final judgments sustaining the assessor's
objection on certificates of error. However, the court shall provide for
publication and mailing prior to the entry of a final judgment in any case in
which the assessor's objection is denied.
The provisions of this Section relating to the time when the Collector
shall advertise intended application for judgment for sale are subject to
modification by the governing authority of a county in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (c) of Section 21-40.

Use of figures and letters in advertisement and other
lists. In all advertisements for the sale of properties for taxes or

court or other officer, letters, figures, characters or property index numbers
may be used to denote townships, ranges, sections, parts of sections, lots or
blocks, or parts thereof, the year or the years for which the taxes were due,

Sec. 21-135. Mailed notice of application for judgment and sale. Not less
than 15 days before the date of application for judgment and sale of delinquent
properties, the county collector shall mail, by registered or certified mail, a
notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale to the person shown
by the current collector's warrant book to be the party in whose name the taxes
were last assessed or to the current owner of record and, if applicable, to the party specified under Section
15-170. The notice shall include the intended dates of application for judgment
and sale and commencement of the sale, and a description of the properties. The

application for judgement.
In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a copy of this notice shall
also be mailed by the county collector by registered or certified mail to any
lienholder of record who annually requests a copy of the notice. The failure of
the county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery to the lienholder
shall not affect the validity of the judgment.
In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, notice shall not be mailed to
any person when, under Section 14-15, a certificate of error has been executed
by the county assessor or by both the
county assessor and board of
appeals (until the first Monday in December 1998 and the board of
review
beginning
the first Monday in December 1998 and thereafter),
except as provided by court order under Section 21-120.
The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each sale to cover
the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement
and publication.
If a taxpayer pays the taxes on the property after the notice of the
forthcoming application for judgment and sale is mailed but before the sale is
made, then the collector shall collect $10 from the taxpayer to cover the costs
of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and
publication.
