The county collector may assess to the purchaser of a mobile home for delinquent taxes an automation fee of not more than $10 per mobile home. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants: (a) The fee shall be paid at the time of the purchase if the record keeping system used for processing the delinquent mobile home tax sales is automated or has been approved for automation by the county board. The fee shall be collected in the same manner as other fees or costs. (b) Fees collected under this Section shall be retained by the county treasurer in a fund designated as the Tax Sale Automation Fund. The fund shall be audited by the county auditor. The county board shall make expenditures from the fund to pay any costs related to the automation of mobile home tax collections and delinquent mobile home tax sales, including the cost of hardware, software, research and development, and personnel.
