 7        (65 ILCS 5/9-2-84) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-84)
 8        Sec. 9-2-84. In counties having a population of less than
 9    1,000,000,  the  collector  of  the municipality, at any time
10    after August 15 in each year, shall publish an  advertisement
11    that  a  return  will  be  made to the general officer of the
12    county having authority to receive State and county taxes  of
13    all   unpaid  special  assessments  or  installments  thereof
14    matured and payable, or interest thereon, or interest due  to
15    the  preceding  January  2 on installments not yet matured on
16    all warrants in  his  hands.  This  advertisement  (1)  shall
17    contain  a  list of the delinquent lands, town lots, and real
18    property upon which the special  assessment  or  installments
19    thereof  or  interest  thereon remain unpaid, the name of the
20    person shown by the county collector's current  warrant  book
21    to  be  the party in whose name the general real estate taxes
22    were last assessed for each such property, the  total  amount
23    due  thereon,  and  the  year for which the same are due; (2)
24    shall give notice that the  general  officer  of  the  county
25    having  authority  to  receive  State and county taxes in the
26    county in which those lands, town lots, or real property  may
27    be  located,  will  make  application  on  the  day specified
28    therein, for judgment against those  lands,  town  lots,  and
29    real   property   for   those  special  assessments,  matured
30    installments of special assessments, interest and  costs  due
31    thereon, and for an order to sell those lands, town lots, and

 1    real  property  for  the  satisfaction thereof; and (3) shall
 2    give notice that on the Monday fixed by that general  officer
 3    of  the  county  for sale, all the lands, town lots, and real
 4    property, for the sale of which an order  is  made,  will  be
 5    exposed  to public sale at the court house in that county for
 6    the amount of special assessments and matured installments of
 7    special assessments, interest  and  costs  due  thereon.  The
 8    advertisement  shall  be  sufficient  notice  of the intended
 9    application for judgment and of the sale of those lands, town
10    lots, and real property under the order of the court.
11        Publication of the advertisement shall be made  at  least
12    once not more than 30 nor less than 15 days in advance of the

16    then  in one or more newspapers with a general circulation in
17    the  municipality.  In  municipalities  with  less  than  500
18    inhabitants, publication may instead be  made  by  posting  a
19    notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality.
20        The   municipal   collector  shall  add  to  all  special
21    assessments and matured installments of  special  assessments
22    and  the  interest thereon, when paid after August 15, in the
23    year when they became due and payable, an amount equal to the
24    actual costs, not to exceed 0.2% of the assessed value of the
25    sum of 10 cents for each lot, tract, or parcel of  land  upon
26    which payment is made, to cover the cost of the advertisement
