How Illinois tax lien sales work

Perry County’s current sale is of property the government already holds, so there is no redemption for the buyer. Illinois’s own tax sale works differently — see the state guide.

At the annual tax sale the buyer gets a certificate of purchase, not the property. If the owner does not redeem in time, the buyer asks the circuit court for a deed; for certificates sold on or after July 10, 2026 the court first orders a public auction of the property, where the buyer holds a bid for what it is owed and anyone bidding more wins, with any surplus going to the former owner (35 ILCS 200/22-40, 22-42). Separately, counties resell land they already took by tax deed at their own sealed-bid auctions (35 ILCS 200/21-90), and many counties now take their whole annual sale themselves (35 ILCS 200/21-190).

Annual-sale certificates: you bid the penalty down from a 9% ceiling, and the owner pays that penalty again for each six months that pass (35 ILCS 200/21-215, 21-355); redemption runs up to three years, so capital is locked a long time. In 2026 many downstate counties are buying their whole annual sale themselves and offering only mobile homes to private buyers, so check the county first. The properties most counties sell to the public are county-owned lots at sealed-bid resales, which come with a quitclaim deed and no redemption. Cook County runs its own annual and scavenger sales.
