Introduced Text

Rhode Island S2059 mandates specific notice to taxpayers before a tax sale, including a copy of § 44-9-10, and nullifies the sale if proper notice is.

Rhode Island S2059 amends the notice requirements for tax sales, stipulating that taxpayers must receive notice of the sale time and place by first-class mail at least 90 days prior, and by certified mail at least 40 days prior. The notice must include a copy of § 44-9-10, with a prominent headline. Elderly or disabled taxpayers can designate a third party for notice. Corporations can receive notice by registered or certified mail. Failure to provide the required notice nullifies the tax sale. The Office of Healthy Aging must report annually on notices received and actions taken.
