From the meeting
At its September 24, 2026 meeting the board formally adopted a pilot program for Cook County to acquire tax certificates under Public Act 104-0553. The Bureau of Economic Development was named the lead entity and the county would acquire up to 100 tax certificates at each of the next 6 tax sales. This creates a structured county buying program with recurring annual activity and implementation work still to be built.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Cook County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Cook County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Cook County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more county taxes government opportunities in Illinois?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces county taxes pre-RFPs in Illinois as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
