There have been no new announcements on the timing of the 2018 Cook County Annual Tax Sale. The tax sale website notes that emails will be sent to sale participants with future updates.

The County Clerk has now set an extended redemption date of June 19, 2020 for any liens that would otherwise have expired between March 18, 2020 and May 4, 2020. They have also implemented a policy regarding the removal of accrued interest during that period. The office is accepting redemption payments by mail and postings of subsequent tax payments by email. They have posted various new documents detailing these policies and guidance on their website. Existing documents  were updated yesterday, May 5, 2020.

The County Division announced continuance dates for various tax deed matters but did so before the court announced its closure through May 30, 2020. Given this, we can likely expect new guidance from the County Division in the near future.

The Chicago Bar Association has a COVID-19 Resource Page with various links that you may find useful, and the City of Chicago has a similar page. The Illinois Courts continue to post updates regarding court procedures throughout the state and has been a great resource.
