Terms of Sale

You submit your highest bid; the county accepts the highest valid bid. The county may reject any bid and withdraw parcels at any time. Properties sell as-is; you check title, zoning, code, and demolition status before bidding. County officers and employees cannot purchase.

Payment (Real Estate): Online winners receive email instructions and must pay in full within 7 days. Sealed written bids delivered to the Treasurer must include full payment (personal check, cashier’s check, money order, or bank draft). If outbid, the office returns your original payment.

Payment (Mobile Homes): Submit certified funds only (cashier’s check, money order, or bank draft) with your sealed bid; land does not transfer with the unit. The buyer must move the unit within 30 days or qualify for park tenancy when applicable. Minimums often publish as $915—confirm in the current catalog.

Deed/Title & Taxes: Real estate conveys by quitclaim deed after processing; you pay future taxes beginning January 1, 2026. Mobile homes convey by Tax Certificate of Title through the Illinois Secretary of State process.
