Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require the sheriff to send notices to the owners of record and to each resident or occupant of real property prior to selling the property for which property taxes have not been paid.
AI Summary
This bill requires the sheriff to send notices to the owners of record and to each resident or occupant of real property at least 30 days before the property can be sold due to unpaid property taxes. This is an addition to the existing requirement of publishing a list of delinquent lands as a legal advertisement in the county. The purpose of these notifications is to inform individuals with an interest in the property, including owners and occupants, about the delinquency and the upcoming sale, thereby providing them an opportunity to redeem their property by paying the overdue taxes, interest, and charges before it is sold.
