Bill > HB4649

This bill amends the duties of a purchaser who buys property sold by the Auditor due to unpaid taxes, specifically adding a requirement to secure a deed. Previously, a purchaser had 120 days after the sale was approved to prepare a list of those to be notified about redeeming the property, provide the property's mailing address if it was classified as Class II property, and deposit funds for the notification costs. This bill adds a new requirement that the purchaser must also satisfy any municipal lien of record on the property and provide the Auditor with a certified record from the municipality confirming the lien has been paid. If the purchaser fails to meet these requirements, they will lose their rights to the purchase.
