Treasury staff: first tax distribution done; 42 county parcels slated for trustee sale

Treasury staff told the finance committee that the county completed its first tax distribution on Aug. 21, distributing roughly half of levied taxes to taxing districts. The second installment is due Sept. 11, staff said, and reminded the public that the county office will be closed for the Labor Day holiday.

Staff also notified the committee that 42 parcels the county owns will be offered by the county trustee on Oct. 9. Citizens may purchase a catalog for $4, submit sealed bids in person by the closing date or apply and bid through iltaxsale.com, staff said. Staff urged interested parties to contact the treasurer's office for forms and details.

No committee action was taken; staff asked members to refer the parcel-sale materials to local constituents and to ensure the treasurer's office has forms and information posted online.
