any county with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, all

of the calendar year following the second installment due date
within 90 days after the second installment due date for tax
year 2010 and each tax year thereafter. In those counties which
have adopted an ordinance under Section 21-40, the application
for judgment and order of sale for delinquent taxes shall be
made in December. In the 10 years next following the completion
of a general reassessment of property in any county with
3,000,000 or more inhabitants, made under an order of the
Department, applications for judgment and order of sale shall
be made as soon as may be and on the day specified in the
advertisement required by Section 21-110 and 21-115. If for any
cause the court is not held on the day specified, the cause
shall stand continued, and it shall be unnecessary to
re-advertise the list or notice.
Within 30 days after the day specified for the application
for judgment the court shall hear and determine the matter. If
judgment is rendered, the sale shall begin on the date within 5
business days specified in the notice as provided in Section
21-115. If the collector is prevented from advertising and
obtaining judgment within the time periods specified by this
Section 90 days after the second installment due date, the
collector may obtain judgment at any time thereafter; but if
the failure arises by the county collector's not complying with
any of the requirements of this Code, he or she shall be held
on his or her official bond for the full amount of all taxes
and special assessments charged against him or her. In Cook

09700SB1335ham001 - 3 - LRB097 09800 HLH 58396 a
County, if the collector is prevented from advertising and
obtaining judgment by July 1, 2011 for tax year 2009, or within
90 days after the second installment due date for tax year 2010
and each tax year thereafter, the collector may obtain judgment
at any time thereafter, but if the failure arises by the county
collector's not complying with any of the requirements of this
Code, then the county collector shall be held on his or her
official bond for the full amount of all taxes and special
assessments charged against him or her. Any failure on the part
of the county collector shall not be allowed as a valid
objection to the collection of any tax or assessment, or to
entry of a judgment against any delinquent properties included
in the application of the county collector.
