S.F. 2281 Section 1. Section 446.7, subsection 1, Code 2022, is 1 amended to read as follows: 2 1. Annually, on the third Monday in June the county 3 treasurer shall offer at public sale all parcels on which taxes 4 are delinquent. The treasurer shall not, however, offer for 5 sale any parcel that is subject to a pending action as the 6 result of a municipal infraction citation under section 364.22 , 7 a petition filed under chapter 657 , or a petition filed under 8 chapter 657A , if such municipal infraction citation or petition 9 is indexed under section 617.10 and noted in the county system 10 as defined in section 445.1 . The sale shall be made for the 11 total amount of taxes, interest, fees, and costs due. If for 12 good cause the treasurer cannot hold the annual tax sale on the 13 third Monday of June, the treasurer may designate a different 14 date in June for the sale prior to the subsequent year’s 15 scheduled annual tax sale or may cancel the sale and offer such 16 parcels for sale at the subsequent years’ annual tax sale if 17 the taxes on such parcels remain delinquent . 18 EXPLANATION 19 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 20 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 21 Code section 446.7 provides that annually, on the third 22 Monday in June, the county treasurer shall offer at public sale 23 all parcels on which taxes are delinquent. However, if for 24 good cause the treasurer cannot hold the annual tax sale on 25 that date, the treasurer may designate a different date in June 26 for the sale. 27 This bill modifies the ability of the county treasurer 28 to reschedule the tax sale for good cause by allowing the 29 rescheduled date to be a date prior to the subsequent year’s 30 scheduled annual tax sale, or alternatively allowing the county 31 treasurer to cancel the sale and offer such parcels for sale 32 at the subsequent years’ annual tax sale if the taxes on such 33 parcels remain delinquent. 34 -1- LSB 6160SV (1) 89 md/jh 1/ 1
