Authorizes municipalities in Orange County to include unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs, and fines in their annual tax levy.

This bill amends the real property tax law to allow municipalities in Orange County to add unpaid housing, building, and fire code violation penalties, costs, and fines to their annual tax levy. To qualify, the amount owed must be at least five percent of the property's tax assessed value. The municipality must notify all owners or interested parties of the placement on the tax levy. If all violations are cured before the redemption period ends, the property is removed from the levy and the balance is placed as a lien.
