All vehicles sold will be assessed sales tax to the winning bidder. The sales tax amount will be added AFTER the auction ends. Once the auction ends, the winning bidder will not be able to make payment immediately.
Because the sales tax amount is variable the County will go in after the auction ends and add the sales tax amount. The buyer will then be notified via email that they are awarded the item and will be able to pay for the item. The winning bidder MUST pay the sales tax amount owed on the auction unless they can prevent a valid state of Illinois tax exemption form.
