Illinois facing lawsuits over property tax theft – Illinois Policy

More than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin County that governments cannot keep more than what’s owed in back property taxes, Illinois remains the only state that hasn’t changed its laws to comply. Now, lawsuits are piling up, and could cost taxpayers millions.

Re : Tyler vs Hennepin County
Mrs. Tyler is no civil libertarian nor particularly sympathetic

“In 2010, after a frightening altercation with a neighbor, Tyler sought to move into a safer community. Subsequently, she neglected to pay property taxes on her North Minneapolis condo.”
