What’s in it
AI summary If a person builds a residential structure worth at least $20,000 on land they do not own, the government can now collect unpaid special assessment taxes from that building. County treasurers must notify both the building owner and the landowner about how these unpaid taxes will be collected. This change allows the state to collect money owed for public improvements even when the building and the land belong to different people.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.4.4 or Code chapter 446 (tax sales) relating to residential buildings or improvements on residential buildings, with an actual value of $20,000 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. The bill requires a county treasurer to provide notice to the owner of the building or improvement and the owner of leased land on which a building or improvement is erected of the tax collection procedures for delinquent taxes on the building or improvement.
