relating to ad valorem tax lien transfers. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 32.06(a-3), Tax Code, is amended to read | ||
as follows: | ||
(a-3) If the property owner has executed an authorization | ||
under Subsection (a-2)(2)(B) consenting to a transfer of the tax | ||
liens for both the taxes on the property that are not delinquent and | ||
taxes on the property that are delinquent, the collector may | ||
[ |
||
the taxes. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 33.445(b), Tax Code, is amended to read | ||
as follows: | ||
(b) In consideration of the payment by the transferee of | ||
those taxes and charges, each joined taxing unit shall transfer its | ||
tax lien to the transferee in the form and manner provided by | ||
Section 32.06(b) and enter its disclaimer in the suit. The transfer | ||
of a tax lien under this subsection does not require authorization | ||
by the property owner. | ||
SECTION 3. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
the transfer of an ad valorem tax lien that occurs on or after the | ||
effective date of this Act. A transfer of an ad valorem tax lien | ||
that occurs before the effective date of this Act is governed by the | ||
law in effect at the time the transfer occurred, and the former law | ||
is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
