Title

Class 2 municipalities, foreclosure bidding preference and notice for adjoining owners

Description

Under existing law, Class 2 municipalities have the authority to foreclose on properties for unpaid municipal code violations after notice to interested parties, including the property owner.

This bill would require Class 2 municipalities to provide adjoining homeowners with notice of foreclosure proceedings and to establish procedures that allow adjoining homeowners to bid on the property before the public auction.

This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
