The news has been filled with many stories the past few years about mortgage foreclosures and their effect on families and the economy. Less well known but equally significant is the number of property tax foreclosures taking place.
In Illinois, your property taxes will be sold at an auction if they go unpaid. The successful bidder receives a certificate which becomes a lien on the property superior to almost all other liens. After a period of time set by statute, the certificate holder may petition the court to take over ownership of the property if the delinquent taxes, late fees, interest and penalties are not paid.
