This bill would change the rules around how people who buy unpaid tax debts must notify property owners, and would require that property owners be informed about how to apply for the homestead exemption. The homestead exemption can reduce property taxes for eligible homeowners, so requiring notice of it may help people avoid losing that benefit during the delinquent tax process. Who it may affect: property owners with delinquent tax liens, particularly older or disabled homeowners who may qualify for the homestead exemption.
