H8276

Rhode Island H8276 mandates specific notice to taxpayers before a tax sale, including a copy of § 44-9-10, and voids sales without proper notice.

Rhode Island H8276 amends tax sale procedures to require specific notice to taxpayers, including a copy of § 44-9-10, at least 40 days before the sale. This notice must be sent to the taxpayer's address or to a designated third party for those aged 65 and over or with disabilities. Failure to provide this notice nullifies the tax sale. The bill also mandates that the Office of Healthy Aging and the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation receive notice of tax sales, with failure to notify them also voiding the sale. The bill takes effect upon passage.
