IL HB2692

Amends Section 21-135 of the Property Tax Code to allow notices of application for judgment and sale to be sent by first class mail instead of registered or certified mail.

Requires the county collector to provide proof of mailing in the form of a certificate or affidavit from the employee who mailed the document, including the time and place of mailing, complete address on the envelope or package, and confirmation that proper postage was prepaid.

Maintains existing requirements that notices be sent at least 15 days before application for judgment and sale to property owners, current owners of record, and applicable lienholders in counties under 3,000,000 inhabitants.

Reduces the mailing cost fee collected from sale proceeds or taxpayers from unspecified amounts to a flat $10 to cover the costs of mailing and advertisement and publication.

Takes effect January 1, 2016.
