barring extraordinary cicumstances as long as the owner had sufficient notice and was properly joined etc, I doubt a judge would vacate the judgment after more than two years has elapsed. I have heard of special circumstances which warranted the vacating of a judgment, one was where an old man was giving his daughter the money to pay the taxes and she was stealing it. When this came to light the judge understandably overturned the judgment. This an area
rife with judicial discretion though.

Can someone tell me how long the statute of limitations is for a person who lost a residential property to a tax deed in the state of Illinois?

I received a tax deed back in November of 1999 and was told that after two years the owner has no recourse to get the property back. Is this true?

Thanks.
