Introduced
by
To reinstate a requirement that a register of deeds collect certificates documenting that there are no taxes owed, tax liens, or certain other encumbrances when property is sold. This requirement was eliminated as part of a 1999 package that streamlined and speeded up procedures for the delinquent property tax reversion process. Reportedly, there is a concern that without the requirement sellers may find it easier to sell property to buyers who are not aware of unpaid tax obligation.
