How Illinois tax lien sales work

Scott County runs its tax sales under Illinois state rules: it is a tax lien state with a redemption posture of 2 yrs.

Buyer holds a Certificate of Purchase (lien). If unredeemed after the 2-yr (other)/2.5-yr (residential 1-6 units) period, the buyer must petition the Circuit Court, which orders the County Clerk to issue a tax deed (35 ILCS 200/22-30, 22-40). Cook County (Chicago) runs its own annual/scavenger sale process.

IL has 2-2.5 year redemption period — capital locked for a long time. Cook County (Chicago) is extremely complex with its own rules and timeline. Very high property tax rates mean large opening bids. Check for city water liens in Chicago properties.
