CT HB05098

Municipalities may assign tax liens on real property by resolution, with the consideration negotiated between the municipality and assignee.

Assignees of liens possess the same powers, rights, and enforcement authority as the municipality and tax collector would have held.

Town clerks must post a public list of assigned liens within seven days of legislative approval and maintain the posting for at least thirty days.

Effective date is October 1, 2013, amending General Statutes Section 12-195h.

Purpose is to increase transparency in the assignment of municipal liens.
