- Illinois lawmakers pass bill to help homeowners catch up with property taxes before losing their homes
Illinois lawmakers passed House Bill 4537 to reform property tax debt collection, extending redemption periods and creating payment plans for homeowners to avoid foreclosure. The bill addresses a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed it unconstitutional to withhold surplus equity from homeowners losing properties through tax sales.
