SF 216: Relating to the authority to postpone or cancel an annual tax sale

What it does

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 not later than 120 days after the third Monday in June. After designation of a different date, the county treasurer may, for good cause and following approval of the board of supervisors, redesignate the date of the tax sale to a date not more than 120 days after the immediately preceding designation, but not later than the date for the subsequent year’s annual tax sale.
