Chicago Sun-Times - All | Cook County liable for property tax sale violations, judge rules by Violet Miller

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A federal judge ruled that Cook County must compensate homeowners who lost their properties and surplus equity in the county’s annual property‑tax sales after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the system unconstitutional. Since 2020, nearly 2,500 owners—often in Black neighborhoods such as Roseland and Englewood—had homes sold for tax debts as low as $1,600, forfeiting properties worth more than $108 million; the initial debts totalled $2.3 million. Judge Matthew Kennelly found the county “deliberately indifferent” to the violations and ordered relief for the victims, estimating an average loss of about $70,000 per household and projecting roughly $15 million in annual payouts, far less than the county’s claim that full compensation would cost “hundreds of millions.” The ruling follows the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision that owners cannot lose surplus equity from tax foreclosures and precedes state legislation delaying future tax sales to allow compliance.
