shall be held on his or her official bond for the full amount of all taxes
charged against him or her. Any failure on the part of the

any tax, or to entry of a judgment against any delinquent
mobile homes included in the application of the county collector.

Sec. 115.
Proceedings by court.
Defenses to the entry of judgment
against mobile homes included in the delinquent list shall be entertained by
the court only when the defense includes a writing specifying the particular
grounds for the objection.
If any party objecting is entitled to a refund of all or any part of a tax
paid, the court shall enter judgment accordingly, and also shall
enter judgment for the taxes, interest, and penalties as
appear to be due. The judgment shall be considered as a several judgment
against each mobile home, for each kind of tax included therein. The court
shall direct the clerk to prepare and enter an order for the sale of the mobile
home against which judgment is entered.

(35 ILCS 516/120)
Sec. 120.
Form of court order.
A judgment and order of sale shall be
substantially in the following form:
Whereas, due notice has been given of the intended application for a
judgment against mobile homes, and no sufficient defense having been made or
cause shown why judgment should not be entered against the mobile homes, for
taxes, interest, penalties, and costs due and
unpaid thereon for the year or years herein set forth, therefore the court
hereby enters judgment against the above stated mobile homes,
in favor of the People of the State of Illinois, for the amount of
taxes, interest, penalties and costs due
thereon. It is ordered by the court that the mobile homes
be sold as the law directs.
The order shall be signed by the judge. In all judicial proceedings of
any kind, for the collection of taxes, all
amendments may be made which, by law, could be made in any personal action
pending in that court.

(35 ILCS 516/125)
Sec. 125.

Cure of error or informality in computation of tax
or collection of the taxes. No computation of the tax on a mobile home or
charge for any of the taxes shall be considered illegal on account of any
irregularity in the computation, or on account of the computation not having
been made within the time required by law, or on account of the mobile home
having been charged without name, or in any other
name than that of the rightful owner. No error or informality in the
proceedings of any of the officers connected with the computation or
collection of the taxes, not affecting the substantial justice of the tax
itself, shall vitiate or in any manner affect the tax or the computation
thereof. Any irregularity or informality in the computation of the tax,
or in any of the proceedings connected with the computation of the
taxes, or any omission or defective act of any other officer or officers
connected with the computation of the taxes, may be, in the
discretion of the court, corrected, supplied and made to conform to law by the
court, or by the person (in the presence of the court) from whose neglect or
default it was occasioned.
