CT HB06653

Municipalities must make reasonable efforts to notify mortgage lenders by certified mail of written warnings or citations for real property ordinance violations, describing the violation and specifying its date.

Unpaid blight penalties imposed by municipalities constitute a lien on the real property and may also be secured against any other real estate owned by the same person or entity; these liens are recorded and enforced like property tax liens and take precedence over liens filed after July 1, 1997.

Foreclosure plaintiffs must register properties being foreclosed with municipalities and include contact information; registration may now list a "local property manager" as a contact person in addition to existing contact options.

Districts proposed to maintain water quality in a lake require only a majority vote of voters to be established, instead of the standard two-thirds vote required for other district types.

For water quality districts in lakes, voting eligibility is expanded to include persons who are not required to be electors of the town where the district is proposed.
