Bill > HB649

This bill modifies provisions relating to land bank agencies by requiring the Land Bank of Kansas City, Missouri to file quiet title actions. The bill allows the land bank agency to file an action to quiet title on any real property in which it has an interest. Prior to filing the quiet title action, the land bank agency must conduct a title examination and provide notice to all interested parties through various methods, such as registered or certified mail, first-class mail, posting on the property, and publication in a local newspaper. The court is required to schedule a hearing on the petition within 90 days and issue a final judgment within 120 days, even if not all interested parties have filed an answer. The bill also allows the land bank agency to join multiple parcels of real property in a single quiet title action.
