Illinois Bill to extend time for homeowners to pay delinquent property taxes

According to Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas, there are more than 58,000 property owners who owe more than $180 million in delinquent taxes. Those taxes would have been put up for auction on Friday, May 8, but SB3356 was introduced to provide them with some relief.
