What’s in it

606B relating to documents or instruments presented for recording requires that, for any instrument of conveyance, certain information be contained on the document, including the name and address of the taxpayer. This bill provides that for a taxpayer that is an individual, the name of the taxpayer shall include the full first and full last legal name of each taxpayer. Under current law, the county treasurer shall deliver a statement of taxes due and payable to the titleholder of a parcel. The bill allows the statements of taxes due and payable for all parcels having an identical mailing address to be combined by the county treasurer or county auditor into a single envelope or mail item.

Read the full explanation

For parcels owned by a taxpayer who is an individual, if the county system does not contain the full legal name of each individual titleholder, the county treasurer shall, within one year of the effective date of the bill, attempt to contact the titleholder by mail, electronic mail, or phone to notify them of the missing or incomplete information and request that the titleholder provide such information. The bill provides that the county is not responsible for any taxpayer liability relating to parcels having missing or incomplete information in the county system if the county attempted to contact the titleholder within the applicable time period and documents such efforts.
