PA HB96

Property owners who are unable or have limited ability to manage delinquent tax notices may designate an individual (next of kin, agent, guardian, or trustee) to receive duplicate notifications about delinquent real estate taxes on their property

Department of Community and Economic Development must develop a designation form and post it online, as well as distribute physical copies to all taxing districts and area agencies on aging throughout Pennsylvania

Upon receiving a completed designation form, county Tax Claim Bureaus and taxing districts must send delinquent tax notifications to both the property owner and the designated individual

All designation forms and rescission notices are confidential and exempt from disclosure under Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law

The act takes effect 60 days after enactment and amends the Real Estate Tax Sale Law of 1947
