Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the conveyance of in rem properties.
Sections
304-50-0 am

Analysis
The city grants a 90-day period after obtaining an in rem judgment against a tax-delinquent property during which the previous owner can pay all taxes due and any associated cost and retake possession of the property. This is currently done by the city attorney through the petitioning of the court to vacate the city’s judgment. As a result, all liens previously attached to the property are reattached. This ordinance changes the process by which the city returns the property to a conveyance issued by the department of city development for the amount of taxes due and any associated costs. This change results in the previous owner retaking possession of the property without any previously attached liens.
