If any county collector or designated deputy fails to attend any sale advertised under this Code, and offer property for sale as required by law, he or she shall be liable to pay the amount of taxes, special assessments and costs due on the advertised property. The county collector may afterwards advertise and sell the delinquent property to reimburse himself or herself for the amount advanced by him or her, but at the sale no property shall be forfeited to the State.
