A Cook County Circuit Court Judge has postponed the Annual Tax Sale of delinquent properties scheduled to begin May 8, 2020.
In an emergency motion, Pappas asked for the delay to protect the health and safety of Cook County residents in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The judge granted the motion, postponing the Tax Sale until the court orders the sale to proceed.
Properties with delinquent taxes will continue to be charged 1.5 percent interest per month as required by state law.
When it takes place, the Tax Sale for Tax Year 2018 (originally due in 2019) includes properties in Cook County eligible for sale due to delinquent Tax Year 2018 property taxes (including, without limitation, general property taxes, back taxes, etc.)
and/or delinquent special assessments.
