HB 1216 Sale of real estate for delinquent taxes; process.
Introduced by: Eric I. Cantor | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Sale of real estate for delinquent taxes; process. Grants cities the authority to adopt an ordinance to sell real estate that has been tax delinquent for 12 months and provides for the right to a rehearing on delinquent tax sales within 90 days of entry of the confirmation of sale. The current requirement that real estate be tax delinquent for 24 months before becoming eligible for sale remains for counties and towns, and cities that do not adopt the ordinance. The bill also authorizes local governing bodies to adopt an ordinance waiving tax liens for the purchaser under certain circumstances. Such liens remain the obligation of the owner of the property at the time the liens were imposed.
