The purpose of this bill is to permit surface owners to purchase the mineral interests that lay below the property when the mineral interest becomes subject to a tax lien. The bill provides that the price to substitute the surface owner for the tax lien purchaser would be twice the amount owed by the mineral interest owner. The bill sets forth the procedure for clerks and deputy commissioners and establishes a nonrefundable $20 administrative fee to be paid by surface owners. The bill provides a procedure if more than one surface owner desires to purchase the delinquent mineral interest. The bill modifies the notices to redeem that are sent to property owners by identifying the additional rights available to surface owners.
