Bill Summary
This act would require specific notice of the tax sale to the taxpayer with a copy of this § 44-9-10 attached thereto. Failure to do so would render the tax sale null and void. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law concerning tax sales by requiring that any notice sent to a taxpayer about a tax sale must include a current copy of Section 44-9-10, which outlines the notice requirements. This attached copy must have a prominent headline stating that the city/town is required to provide proper notice before a tax sale, and it must also include current contact information for the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation, which is a state agency that helps finance housing. If this specific notice requirement, including the attached copy of the law and contact information, is not met, the tax sale will be considered invalid. The bill also specifies that this change will take effect immediately upon its passage.
