Illinois Statutes Chapter 725. Criminal Procedure § 5/124B-910. Notice to or service on owner or interest holder

(1) If the owner's or interest holder's name and current address are known, then notice or service shall be given or made either by personal service or by mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to that address. For purposes of notice under this Section, if a person has been arrested for the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture, then the address provided to the arresting agency at the time of arrest shall be deemed to be that person's known address. If an owner's or interest holder's address changes before the effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, however, the owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the seizing agency of the change in address. If the owner's or interest holder's address changes after the effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the State's Attorney or Attorney General of the change in address.

(2) If the property seized is a conveyance, then notice or service shall be given or made to the address reflected in the office of the agency or official in which title or interest to the conveyance is required by law to be recorded. Notice shall be given by mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to that address.

(3) If the owner's or interest holder's address is not known and is not on record as provided in paragraph (2), then notice of pending forfeiture shall be given by publication for 3 successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the seizure occurred.
