伊利诺伊州芝加哥欠税拍卖房产9481处创1994年以来最少 12月15日开拍
伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市消息：库克县财政官玛丽亚·帕帕斯（Maria Pappas）11月6日宣布，列入今年12月15日年度欠税拍卖的库克县房产共9481处，为至少1994年以来最少的一次。
其中芝加哥市内5092处，郊区4389处，均为有记录以来的最低水平之一。帕帕斯表示，改革延长了业主补缴欠税的时间，是数量下降的主因。值得注意的是，2737处房产的欠税不足1000美元。
此次拍卖针对2023纳税年度、2024年到期的房产税，州法要求在第二期缴款截止日后13个月内举行。拍卖原定2025年9月举行，因给予业主更多时间而推迟至今年12月15日，为期四天。
财政官办公室已于11月4日和5日在当地报纸及官网公布欠税房产清单。帕帕斯提醒，欠税业主在拍卖前补缴仍可避免房产进入拍卖程序，财政官办公室官网提供欠税查询与缴费通道。
Cook County Tax Sale Lists 9,481 Properties, Fewest Since 1994; Sale Opens December 15
CHICAGO, Ill. — Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas announced on November 6 that 9,481 Cook County properties have been listed for this year's annual tax sale on December 15, the fewest since at least 1994.
Of the total, 5,092 properties are in Chicago and 4,389 are in the suburbs, both among the lowest levels on record. Pappas said reforms that gave property owners more time to pay delinquent taxes were the main reason for the decline. Notably, 2,737 of the properties owe less than $1,000 in back taxes.
The sale covers property taxes for the 2023 tax year that came due in 2024. State law requires the sale to be held within 13 months after the second-installment due date. Originally scheduled for September 2025, the sale was postponed to December 15 this year to give owners more time, and will run for four days.
The Treasurer's Office published the list of tax-delinquent properties in local newspapers and on its website on November 4 and 5. Pappas reminded delinquent owners that paying before the sale can still keep a property out of the auction, and that the Treasurer's Office website offers tax lookup and payment channels.
