Shelby County, City of Alabaster, plant nuisance abatement further provided for
HB 497 amends existing law concerning "weed liens" on properties in Shelby County, specifically the City of Alabaster. The bill clarifies that when a property with an outstanding weed lien is redeemed or sold by the state, the lien must be paid as part of that transaction. Upon full payment, the weed lien is extinguished. If the lien is not paid during a redemption or sale, it remains a valid and enforceable claim against the property until satisfied.
