A roof in front of a blue sky. To aid in that learning, we have compared and analyzed the property tax sale system, legislative reform, strategies employed, and ongoing challenges of 13 states impacted by the Tyler decision.
A street with single family brick homes is against a blue sky with green grass. The text reads: If Illinois is to successfully pass legislative reform, it must learn from the actions of other states.
A roadside sign with a green background has WELCOME TO ILLINOIS THE LAND OF LINCOLN FROM THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS in front of a green tree full of leaves and a blue sky. The text reads: While most states have amended their laws to comply with Tyler, Illinois has yet to take action.
A pitched roof of a house with two windows is set against a black sky. Green yellow text with a black outline reads: The Court found that the county’s sale of the property and retention of the excess $25,000 was unconstitutional as it constituted a taking without just compensation to the owner.
A photo of a row of victorian houses under a sunny blue sky. There is green yellow text with black outline and it reads: "In 2023, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in Tyler v. Hennepin County and held that the practice of "home equity theft" was unconstitutional, as it violated the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause."
