HB 1200: Delinquent Taxes

H.B. 1200, P.N. 1615 (D. EVANS) This would amend the Municipal Claim and Tax Law, Act 153 of 1923, P.L. 207.
Property that is donated by joint agreement to a county, local government, school district, or redevelopment authority would be exempt from tax claims during the period the property remains in ownership of the recipient public entity. Such a donation could not be made after a notice has been received stating that the property is to be sold to collect back taxes.
Philadelphia, Allegheny County, and other counties using this law, would be required to develop delinquent tax lists to be maintained as public record and to include the last known address of the property owners and would be able to notify consumer reporting agencies of these non-payments.
