How foreclosure and tax sales work in Illinois
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Illinois uses judicial foreclosure: the lender must sue in court, and the property is sold by the sheriff or a court-approved selling officer.
Illinois is generally a tax lien state: the county treasurer and county clerk sells liens or certificates on unpaid property taxes, and the buyer earns interest or penalties until the owner pays.
