Any demolition that takes place in the county must be geographically dispersed. A local or state public safety agency will determine which structures will be demolished. A municipal officer must make the initial determination, and the owner may appeal or improve the property within 30 days. If improved, the owner may ask for reinspection. If the fee is still imposed, the owner may still appeal.
Delinquent fees become a lien upon the property.
The use of redemption contracts is not permitted on tax foreclosed residential property which has been vacant for at least 6 months in municipalities in Jackson County. The bill also bars the sale of tax foreclosed property to persons who owe delinquent property taxes on other property within the same county. Some procedures for sheriff's sales are specified. Violators of zoning ordinances are subject to increased fines and to imprisonment. Ten days in jail may be imposed for violations.
