Land & Farms at government auction in Illinois come from the same places they do everywhere: agencies replacing them on a schedule, departments closing or consolidating, and property seized or abandoned and sold by the county. The seller's name is on every listing, the photos show the condition, and most sales are pickup only at the location listed, so the distance to Chicago is part of the price. Our check access and easements tip applies here as much as anywhere: Make sure the land has legal access and know any easements, leases or crop rights that come with it.
