Sell Your Tax Lien House Fast in O'Fallon
In Illinois, property tax liens attach to real estate on January 1 of the tax year under 35 ILCS 200/21-75, meaning a lien for 2023 taxes attaches on January 1, 2023, even though the bill isn't due until later. If taxes go unpaid, the county collector applies to the Circuit Court for a judgment and the property is offered at an annual tax sale, typically held in the fall of the year following delinquency — so unpaid 2023 taxes could be sold in fall 2024. After a tax sale, the original owner retains a right of redemption under 35 ILCS 200/21-350, generally lasting 2 to 3 years depending on property type, during which they can pay off the lien plus penalties and interest to reclaim clear title. If the redemption period expires without the owner redeeming, the tax buyer petitions the Circuit Court for a tax deed, and once that deed is issued, the original owner loses the property entirely — making it critical to act well before that deadline.
