HF 266: Relating to the authority of a county treasurer to postpone or cancel an annual tax sale

What it does

Code section 446.7 provides that annually, on the third Monday in June, the county treasurer shall offer at public sale all parcels on which taxes are delinquent. However, if for good cause the treasurer cannot hold the annual tax sale on that date, the treasurer may designate a different date in June for the sale. This bill modifies the ability of the county treasurer to reschedule the tax sale for good cause by allowing the rescheduled date to be a date prior to the subsequent year’s scheduled annual tax sale, or alternatively allowing the county treasurer to cancel the sale and offer such parcels for sale at the subsequent years’ annual tax sale if the taxes on such parcels remain delinquent.
