(65 ILCS 5/9-2-80) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-80)
Sec. 9-2-80.
The collector, into whose possession the warrant comes, as
far as practicable, shall call upon all persons, resident within the
neighborhood, whose names appear upon the assessment roll, or the occupants
of the property assessed, and personally, or by written or printed notices
left at his or her usual place of abode or mailed to all persons whose
names appear on the assessment roll, inform them of the special assessment,
and request payment thereof. This notice shall be given by the collector
within 10 days after his receipt of the warrant and shall indicate the
date on or before which the assessment may be paid in whole or in part
without interest. Under Section 9-2-48 interest on assessments shall begin
to run from 60 days after the date of the first voucher issued on account
of work done, except as otherwise provided in Section 9-2-113.
Any collector omitting to do so is liable to a penalty of $10 for every
such omission, but the validity of the special assessment, or the right to
apply for and obtain judgment thereon, is not affected by such an omission.
It is the duty of such collector to write the word "paid" opposite each
tract or lot on which the assessment is paid, together with the name and
post office address of the person making the payment, and the date of
payment.
