AR HB1695

Extends municipal lien filing deadlines from 120 to 365 days after clean-up work completion and from 60 to 180 days after governing body confirmation of lien amounts

Doubles priority clean-up lien caps: grass/weed cutting from $1,000 to $2,000, boarding/securing from $5,000 to $10,000, demolition from $7,500 to $15,000, and environmental remediation from $15,000 to $30,000

Creates new foreclosure process allowing municipalities to petition circuit court for public sale of property subject to municipal liens, with court-appointed commissioners to oversee sales at least 30 days after court order

Establishes distribution priority for public sale proceeds: first to sale costs, second to municipal liens, third to delinquent taxes, fourth to recorded lienholders, fifth to unrecorded lienholders present at sale, and finally to former property owner

Allows municipalities to enjoin state sales of tax-delinquent property to purchasers who own other property in Arkansas with existing property liens or certified tax delinquencies, and grants unrecorded municipal clean-up liens priority over other unrecorded liens in fund distribution
