Public Act 123 of 1999 shortens the amount of time property owners have to pay their delinquent taxes before losing their property. Property owners with 2009 delinquent taxes will be foreclosed and will lose all ownership rights to their property at 5:00 pm April 2, 2012.
With this new act, the amount of time to pay taxes has been reduced from approximately five years to approximately two years.
Property owners face higher interest and fees for not paying their taxes. Taxes that are delinquent for more than one year will have a substantially higher interest rate (1.5% per month, as opposed to the current 1%). After one year, delinquent taxes will also have a $175 forfeiture fee and additional administrative fees and costs allowed by law added to them.
PAY YOUR DELINQUENT TAXES NOW! FORECLOSURE IS FINAL!
