House Bill 5571 Summary

• Amends the General Property Tax Act to modify notice requirements for property with delinquent taxes, specifically revising sections 78f and 78i and adding new section 78p.

• Allows county treasurers to post delinquent property notices on websites and in "notice publications" (broadened beyond just newspapers) in addition to mailed certified notices by February 1 following tax delinquency.

• Reduces the publication period for foreclosure notices from 3 successive weeks to 2 successive weeks in notice publications and permits posting on governmental unit websites for at least 14 days as an alternative.

• Defines "notice publication" to include any print publication distributed weekly or more frequently that meets specified criteria, expanding options beyond traditional newspapers.

• Establishes that notice requirements in the revised sections are exclusive and exhaustive, preventing other legal standards from applying to proof of service in tax foreclosure proceedings.
