2001 House Bill 4852

Introduced in the House

May 30, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Gene DeRossett (R-55)

To create the Tax Reverted Clean Title Act program, which would levy a specific tax instead of property taxes on tax-reverted parcels that are exempted from property taxes based on the provisions established in HB 4851, with 50 percent of the tax revenue to be used by the local unit of government for the purpose of clearing titles on tax reverted properties or repaying loans made by the state for use in clearing titles, and the remaining 50 percent of revenue to be disbursed under the current property tax formula. This is part of a legislative package comprised of House Bills 4850 to 4853, 5451, and 5452.
