What’s in it

AI summary If a person builds something worth $5,000 or more on land they do not own, the government can now collect unpaid special assessment taxes from that building. Currently, these unpaid costs cannot be collected from improvements made by someone other than the landowner. This change allows the state to collect both the principal and interest owed on those assessments.1

Read the official explanation

When property adjacent to a public improvement benefits from the improvement, a special assessment may be levied against the adjacent properties that received the benefit to pay for all or a portion of the improvement. Under current law, principal and interest due and delinquent because of a special assessment cannot be collected on a building or improvement erected or made by a person on land owned by another person pursuant to Code sections 445.3 and 445.4. This bill allows collections pursuant to Code sections 445.3 and 445.4 or Code chapter 446 (tax sales) relating to buildings or improvements, with an actual value of $5,000 or more, erected or made by a person on land owned by another person to include principal and interest due and delinquent because of special assessment levies.
