Current through Public Act 103-1056
Section 35 ILCS 516/355 - Action for collection of taxes

The county board may, at any time after final judgment and order of sale against a delinquent mobile home under Section 120, institute a civil action in the name of the People of the State of Illinois in the circuit court for the whole amount due for taxes on the delinquent or forfeited mobile home. Any county, city, village, incorporated town, school district or other municipal corporation to which any tax is due, may, at any time after final judgment under Section 120, institute a civil action in its own name, in the circuit court, for the amount of the tax due to it on the delinquent or forfeited mobile home, and prosecute the same to final judgment. On the sale of any mobile home following judgment in the civil action, the county, city, village, incorporated town, school district or other municipal corporation, interested in the collection of the tax, may become purchaser at the sale. If the mobile home so sold is not redeemed the purchaser may acquire, hold, sell or dispose of the title thereto, the same as individuals may do under the laws of this State. In any action for delinquent or forfeited taxes, the fact that the mobile home was assessed to a person shall be prima facie evidence that the person was the owner thereof, and was liable for the taxes for the year or years for which the assessment was made. That fact may be proved by the introduction in evidence of the proper assessment book or roll, or other competent proof. Any judgment rendered for delinquent or forfeited taxes under this Section shall include the costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees.
