West Virginia HB5640 reforms tax sale process by creating two legal tracks for owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied property.

West Virginia HB5640 introduces a tax sale process reform by establishing two distinct legal tracks for property: owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied.

Non-owner-occupied properties, such as abandoned, rental, speculative, or non-primary residences, are subject to enhanced notice requirements, prohibit redemption, and limit post-sale remedies.
