Bill Summary

Requiring that certain owner-occupied property be withheld from tax sale; authorizing a county or a municipal corporation to withhold from tax sale certain property designated for redevelopment purposes; altering certain provisions of law concerning abandoned property that is sold for less than the lien amount; altering certain requirements concerning the rate of redemption for owner-occupied properties sold at tax sale; and applying the Act prospectively; etc.

AI Summary

This bill would make several revisions to property tax sale laws in Maryland: - It requires that owner-occupied properties be withheld from tax sale, and allows counties and municipalities to withhold properties designated for redevelopment from tax sale. - It alters provisions related to the sale of abandoned properties for less than the lien amount, allowing the local government to seek a judgment for the remaining unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties. - It increases the redemption rate for owner-occupied properties sold at tax sale from 6% to 10% per year. - It applies the changes prospectively, so they would not affect tax sale certificates issued before the law takes effect on January 1, 2025.
