What’s in it

AI summary County officials cannot approve splitting or combining pieces of land if the property still owes unpaid taxes or other government fees. They also cannot approve these changes if the land is currently in a redemption period following a tax sale. This rule ensures that land parcels are clear of debt before they are divided or joined together.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that a county assessor or county auditor, as applicable, shall not approve a split or consolidation, as each is defined in the bill, for which a plat of survey or acquisition plat is not required, unless each parcel involved in the split or consolidation is not within the redemption period following a tax sale and is free from unpaid property taxes, special assessments, and drainage assessments for which a waiver or abatement has not been approved.
