Title 42 › CHAPTER 24 — DISPOSAL OF ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITIES › SUBCHAPTER IV — SALES OF PROPERTY FOR PRIVATE USE › § 2345
When the Commission sells property under this law, the deed must be simple. The deed can include title guarantees, other protections, and indemnities the Commission thinks are needed. For dormitories, apartments, or rental housing, the Commission can keep or get rights to choose future occupants to make sure housing is available for its employees and contractors. The deed can make the buyer and their heirs, successors, and assigns pay for municipal services at rates no higher than the area's average tax. Unpaid amounts, with interest and costs, become a U.S. lien when delinquent, but the lien is not effective against a mortgagee, pledgee, purchaser, or judgment creditor until notice is filed under state law or in the U.S. district court if the state has no filing rule. For transfers under sections 2321 and 2342, the Commission may set use and health and safety rules that end one year after the town is incorporated or after June 30, 1966 for Los Alamos. Payments in place of property taxes must be fairly prorated.
