Bill > SB3457

This bill amends the Property Tax Code to require county collectors to notify all known occupants of residential properties that are facing an application for judgment and sale due to delinquent taxes. This means that if taxes on a home are unpaid and the county is seeking a court order to sell the property to cover the debt, the collector must make an effort to find out who lives there and send them a written notice. This notice will identify the occupant, explain that the property is subject to a potential sale for unpaid taxes, provide contact information for concerns, and importantly, state that it is not a notice to vacate, advising occupants to seek legal counsel to understand their rights. The notice will also include case details and instructions for future rent payments if applicable, and will be delivered in person, left with someone at least 13 years old at the property, or sent by first-class mail.
