Case Number: 
2016 IL App (3d) 150809
Decision Date: 
Friday, January 6, 2017
District: 
3d Dist.
Division/County: 
Rock Island Co.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Justice: 
O'BRIEN

Court properly denied petition for tax sale, as Petitioner failed to serve property owner and taxpayer. Petitioner did not exercise diligence in locating and serving property owner, and thus did not make a bona fide attempt to obtain tax deed. Petitioner's "bare minimum" efforts did not support a bona fide attempt to comply with statutory notice requirements. (McDADE and WRIGHT, concurring.)
