6 days following the receipt of notice by the last known owner of
7 the certificate of purchase, or within a reasonable time
8 thereafter, the county collector shall make a written
9 declaration, based upon clear and convincing evidence, that

11 county collector may request the circuit court to direct the
12 county clerk to record any assignment of the tax certificate
13 to or from the county collector without charging a fee for the

1 (a) If a sale in error under Section 21-310 or , 22-35, or
2 22-50 is declared, the amount refunded shall also include all
3 costs paid by the owner of the certificate of purchase or his
4 or her assignor which were posted to the tax judgment, sale,
5 redemption and forfeiture record.
6 (b) (Blank). In those cases which arise solely under
7 grounds set forth in Section 21-310, the amount refunded shall
8 also include interest on the refund of the amount paid for the
9 certificate of purchase, except as otherwise provided in this
10 Section. Interest shall be awarded and paid to the tax
11 purchaser at the rate of 1% per month from the date of sale to
12 the date of payment, or in an amount equivalent to the penalty
13 interest which would be recovered on a redemption at the time
14 of payment pursuant to the order for sale in error, whichever
15 is less. Interest shall not be paid when the sale in error is
16 made pursuant to paragraph (2) or (4) of subsection (b) of
17 Section 21-310, Section 22-35, Section 22-50, any ground not
18 enumerated in Section 21-310, or in any other case where the
19 court determines that the tax purchaser had actual knowledge
20 prior to the sale of the grounds on which the sale is declared
21 to be erroneous.

23 for sale in error under Section 21-310 and mails a notice
24 thereof by certified or registered mail to the last known
25 owner of the certificate of purchase, any interest otherwise
26 payable under this Section shall cease to accrue as of the date

1 the petition is filed, unless the tax purchaser agrees to an
2 order for sale in error upon the presentation of the petition
3 to the court. Notices under this subsection may be mailed to
4 the last known owner of the certificate of purchase. When the
5 owner of the certificate of purchase contests the collector's
6 petition solely to determine whether the grounds for sale in
7 error are such as to support a claim for interest, the court
8 may direct that the principal amount of the refund be paid to
9 the owner of the certificate of purchase forthwith. If the
10 court thereafter determines that a claim for interest lies
11 under this Section, it shall award such interest from the date
12 of sale to the date the principal amount was paid. If the owner
13 of the certificate of purchase files an objection to the
14 county collector's intention to declare an administrative sale
15 in error, as provided under subsection (c) of Section 21-310,
16 and, thereafter, the county collector elects to apply to the
17 circuit court for a sale in error under subsection (a) of
18 Section 21-310, then, if the circuit court grants the county
19 collector's application for a sale in error, the court may not
20 award interest to the owner of the certificate of purchase for
21 the period after the mailing date of the county collector's
22 notice of intention to declare an administrative sale in
23 error.

11 penalties for the first year in excess of 7%. The form of the
12 receipt of redemption for filing with the county clerk shall
13 be as prescribed by law.
14 In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, when

8 Sec. 21-385. Extension of period of redemption.
9 (a) For any tax certificates held by a county pursuant to

11 shall be extended by operation of law until the date
12 established by the county as the redemption deadline in a
13 petition for tax deed filed under Section 22-30. The
14 redemption deadline established in the petition shall be
15 identified in the notices provided under Section 22-10 and
16 Section 22-25 of this Code. After a redemption deadline is

18 further extend the redemption deadline by filing with the
19 county clerk of the county in which the property is located a
20 written notice to that effect describing the property,
21 identifying the certificate number and specifying the extended
22 period of redemption. Notwithstanding any expiration of a
23 prior redemption period, all tax certificates forfeited to the

11 An affidavit by one of the members of the board of local
12 improvements, or other board or officer computing the
