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

Department, applications for judgment and order of sale shall
be made as soon as may be and on the day specified in the

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, 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. 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.
