As Passed the House

HB 2294 stipulates that the sale of a real property tax lien, the foreclosure of the right to redeem, or the issuance of a treasurer’s deed does not eliminate any lien for an assessment imposed by prescribed improvement districts.

History

Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Title 48, Chapter 6, Article 1, allows for the formation of county improvement districts. These districts may be formed for the purpose of constructing and operating a wastewater treatment facility and making various other local improvements or acquisitions. Upon approval by the owners of property in a county improvement district, the district may impose special assessments on such property in order to fulfill its obligations. Should a resident fail to pay this assessment, a lien would then be placed on the resident’s property.  HB 2294 provides that when property with a lien for a special assessment is sold, the lien is not extinguished.

HB 2294 passed the Counties & Municipalities Committee unamended.

HB 2294 was rereferred to the Counties & Municipalities Committee and includes a strike-everything amendment.  The strike-everything provides for the following:

·              Stipulates that the sale of a real property tax lien, the foreclosure of the right to redeem, and the issuance of a treasurer’s deed do not eliminate any lien for an assessment imposed by prescribed improvement districts.

The strike-everything amendment was adopted in the Counties & Municipalities Committee.

The Counties & Municipalities Committee amendment was adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
