Bill Summary

Relative to benefits received by cities and towns prior to foreclosure of the rights of redemption under a tax title or taking. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 60 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section, Section 61B, which allows cities and towns that have purchased or taken a condominium unit for unpaid taxes or other municipal charges to recoup any common expense fees, special assessments, or other amounts that the unit owner would have owed to the condominium or homeowners' association. The bill also provides that the city or town can add these amounts to the tax title account, and the amounts must be paid as part of the redemption process. Additionally, the bill grants cities and towns the right to take or sell the condominium unit for the payment of these association fees, even if the tax title has been assigned to another party.
