Excess Funds, Property Tax Overages, Etc.
We often receive the Freedom of Information Act or Open Record Requests related to property tax overages.
Jackson County has no excess funds list related to property taxes.
Tax buyers only pay the amount due on each property per Illinois Statute: 35 ILCS 200/21-215. Penalty bids. The person at the sale offering to pay the amount due on each property for the least penalty percentage shall be the purchaser of that property. No bid shall be accepted for a penalty exceeding 18% of the amount of the tax or special assessment on the property.
