What is 24P25?
Tax Sale - Single Bidder Affidavit Form 24P25 is the Peoria County Treasurer's affidavit in which a tax buying entity acknowledges it is operating under the single bidder rule, which allows one registered buyer per tax buying entity at the county's real estate tax sale.
The form is printed on Peoria County Treasurer letterhead under the title Peoria County RE Tax Sale – Single Bidder Rule Affidavit. It cites Illinois Property Tax Code 35 ILCS 200/21-205 (b-5) and the Peoria County Ordinance signed into effect September 8, 2022, under which the Treasurer enacted the rule to prohibit a tax purchaser from registering more than one related bidding entity at the tax sale.
The form states the rule in three points:
- A registered tax buying entity (principal) may have only one registered buyer and may not have a related bidding entity register or participate, directly or indirectly.
- It may not use a multiple bidding strategy to have more than one related bidding entity submit bids.
- A related bidding entity is any individual or organization with a shareholder, partner, principal, officer or other person or entity that has an ownership interest in common with another registered participant, or a common guarantor for a source of financing with another registered participant.
Whether entities are related is decided at the sole and exclusive discretion of the county treasurer or his or her designated representative. By signing, the entity also accepts that a sale it took part in may be voided, and that it may be barred from future tax sales, if it misrepresented itself as a single bidder.
Who needs to file 24P25?
The main group is the tax buying entity that registers to bid at the Peoria County real estate tax sale. The affidavit is completed in the name of that entity, and the name must match its buyer registration form.
The rule on the form applies to a registered tax buying entity (principal). The entity acknowledges that it has only one registered buyer and no related bidding entity registered or participating. A related bidding entity can be an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, business organization or other entity that shares an owner, partner, principal, officer or general partner with another registered participant, or shares a guarantor on a source of financing.
The form has one signature line and does not describe who may sign for an entity or whether a representative may sign. If you are unsure whether another registered participant counts as related to you, the form says the Treasurer or the Treasurer's designated representative makes that decision. The Treasurer's office can be reached at 309/672-6065.
When to file 24P25
Submit the affidavit with your tax sale registration paperwork, before the county's cutoff. The county's page on required tax sale forms says Peoria County requires two forms to be completed and submitted to the Treasurer's office no later than 10 business days before the tax sale. For the 2024P2025 tax year, the deadline is October 27, 2025 by 5:00 p.m.
That page says registration applications received after the deadline will be returned, with no exceptions. It also says the County Clerk's office requires a completed W-9 form. Form 24P25 itself prints no separate due date, so check the deadline for the sale you plan to attend with the Treasurer's office.
How to fill out 24P25
Read the single bidder rule
Review the three points of the Single Bidder Rule and the definition of a related bidding entity printed above the Affidavit. Confirm that your entity has only one registered buyer and no related bidding entity at the sale.
Enter the tax buying entity name
In Name of Tax Buying Entity, enter the name exactly as it appears on your buyer registration form. The form says the two must match.
Enter your SS# or FEIN #
In the SS# or FEIN # line, enter the number that identifies the tax buying entity. Print clearly, as the form directs.
Confirm the affidavit statement
The Affidavit states that you are operating under the single bidder rule. It also states that a misrepresentation may void any sale you took part in and may bar you from future tax sales, so check that both are true and understood.
Sign the affidavit
Sign on the Signature line. The form provides one signature line and prints no rule on who may sign for an entity.
Enter the date
Write the date on the Date line.

How to submit 24P25
The county's page says required tax sale forms go to the Peoria County Treasurer's office. The form itself names no submission channel, so use the office details printed on its letterhead.
- Address: Peoria County Treasurer, 324 Main St, #G-15, Peoria, IL 61602.
- Phone: 309/672-6065.
- Fax: 309/677-6203 (printed on the form; ask the office whether it accepts the signed affidavit by fax).
Print clearly, sign and date the affidavit, and make sure the entity name matches your buyer registration form. The county's page says submissions received after the deadline are returned, so deliver the form before 5:00 p.m. on the deadline date. The County Clerk's office separately requires a completed W-9 form. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the Treasurer's channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Entering a name in Name of Tax Buying Entity that does not match the buyer registration form, which the form says it must.
- Registering a related bidding entity as a second buyer when the principal already has one registered buyer.
- Using a multiple bidding strategy so that more than one related bidding entity submits bids at the tax sale.
- Misrepresenting yourself as a single bidder; the form says any sale you took part in may be voided and you may be barred from future tax sales.
- Leaving out the SS# or FEIN # line or the signature and date before submitting.
- Writing illegibly, when the form says to print clearly.
- Delivering the paperwork after the 5:00 p.m. deadline, since the county says late registration applications are returned with no exceptions.
