Attached is In Re Application of County Treasurer (Hawkeye Investment v. Lanz) 1-06-3387 (Dec. 28, 2007) which is notable for the court’s refusal to strictly apply the Tax Code in an attempt by a homeowner to redeem after the period to redeem expired. It also holds that Section 22-45 of the Tax Code, which Tax buyers routinely invoke to limit a parties ability to attack a tax deed, is implicated only where a tax deed has already been issued. It applies only where the movant is trying to _vacate_ a tax deed. It doesn’t apply merely where the period of redemption expires or where the order granting a tax deed has been entered.
