As used in the Property Tax Code, "costs" means the expenses incurred by the department in connection with collecting delinquent taxes. As applied to a particular property, "costs" may be, in the discretion of the department, either the sum of the expenses incurred specifically in connection with that property or the uniform charge applied to the class of delinquent properties of which the property is a member.
