Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Tax sale deadlines now close of business

The law ties key tax sale steps to the close of business. The tax receiver issues the June certificate at close of business on the first Monday in June. To reconvey, your payment must reach the treasurer by close of business on the third business day before the sale. A city’s affidavit to stop a quitclaim deed must arrive by that same close‑of‑business deadline.

10% cap on excess proceeds fees

If a person helps you recover excess sale proceeds, the fee must be in a written, signed agreement. When a natural person helps, the fee cannot be more than 10% of the remaining excess proceeds owed to you. This cap now applies broadly, not only to primary homes.

Treasurer offices open until 5 p.m.

County boards cannot set the treasurer’s main or branch office to close before 5:00 p.m. on business days. Offices may close later. This ensures residents have at least until 5:00 p.m. to pay or get help in person.

Court process for disputed proceeds

If mediation over excess proceeds fails, the treasurer must file a court interpleader. Disputes move to a judge instead of a local hearing. The change affects how, not how much, people can claim.

Treasurer tech fund and unclaimed proceeds

Counties must keep certain tax-sale money in a separate account for treasurer office technology. The money can only pay for software, hardware, records work, maintenance, training, and similar needs. Balances carry forward, earn interest, and a spending report is due by July 1 each year. Excess proceeds sit in an interest-bearing account. If no one claims them within 1 year after the treasurer’s deed is recorded, 5% goes to the tech account and the rest to the county general fund. These payments are not refunded, and interest belongs to the county.
