NC H912

Authorizes the cities of Greensboro and High Point to petition courts to appoint a receiver to rehabilitate, demolish, or sell vacant buildings when owners fail to comply with city orders.

Designates non-compliant vacant buildings as nuisances per se if owners fail to comply with orders issued under existing code enforcement statutes (G.S. 160A-429 or 160A-443).

Grants appointed receivers authority to contract for labor and supplies, borrow money, manage property for up to two years, and foreclose on a lien against the property for all expenses incurred.

Allows receivers to sell property at public auction or through private sale, with proceeds applied first to outstanding taxes and government assessments, then to receiver's lien, then city costs, and finally to property owners.

Permits cities to charge owners an administrative fee equal to 5% of sale profits or $100, whichever is less; receiver tenure limited to two years after rehabilitation, demolition, or sale.
