Summary
The finance committee authorized the county executive to execute documents for the county's delinquent tax program after the treasurer reported about 10,442 parcels received delinquent notices and forecast roughly 7,000 will pay before tax sale while about 3,000 may be sold.
The Will County Finance Committee voted to authorize the county executive to execute documents for the county's delinquent-tax program after staff described the scope of parcels and likely outcomes.
Treasury staff reported that approximately 10,442 parcels were mailed delinquent notices. "There are approximately 10,442 parcels that were mailed delinquent notices," a county treasury representative said. Staff told the committee they expect roughly 7,000 parcels to pay before the tax-sale date and approximately 3,000 parcels to proceed to sale.
Committee members asked whether the parcels were residential or commercial; staff said that categorization can be produced but is not part of the routine report and offered to request that data from IT. Staff also confirmed the notices reflect current taxes (due June and September) and that delinquent payments incur a 1.5 percent per month penalty.
After questions, the committee took a roll-call vote on the authorization. The clerk recorded the roll call and the motion carried.
Ending: Staff agreed to supply further breakdowns on parcel types (residential vs. commercial) and to provide follow-up reports before the tax-sale date.
