What’s in it
AI summary County officials cannot approve splitting or combining pieces of land if those properties still owe unpaid taxes or special assessments. They also cannot approve these changes if the land is currently in a redemption period following a tax sale. This rule ensures that property ownership changes only happen when all tax debts are fully cleared.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 under Code chapter 447 or the period specified in Code section 448.12 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.
