Failure to pay Mobile Home Tax:
State Statutes direct the Collector in delinquent tax collections. Law provides that all taxes not paid before or on due date shall have a late penalty of $25 per month or part of a month until paid or sold. After the due date, a cost of $10 per parcel will be added to cover certified mailing and delinquent publications. If tax, interests or costs remain unpaid, application will then be made to the County Circuit Clerk for Judgement and Order of Sale against the property. If sold, tax sale costs and interest will be added. Interest will increase every six months or fraction thereof by the initial interest awarded at the tax sale. By law, tax sale interest rate bids start at 18% per 6 months and bid downward to the lowest bid. A lien is then placed on the property until taxes are redeemed. If your taxes are sold, contact the County Clerk’s office for current redemption amounts.

Moving or Selling Mobile Homes:
A Mobile Home may not be moved without a permit signed by the Fulton County Treasurer. The Illinois Secretary of State will not transfer title of any mobile home until all taxes have been certified paid by the County Treasurer. You must bring your title.
