This bill gives city governments the legal authority to take court action if a property deed issued by a commissioner has not been filed with the county clerk within 30 business days of the new owner receiving it. Unrecorded deeds can create gaps in public property records, which can complicate ownership history and local government functions like tax collection. The bill also establishes what remedies a court may provide in these cases. Who it may affect: city governments, county clerks, and property owners receiving commissioner's deeds.
