AN ACT CONCERNING FORECLOSURE, ASSIGNMENT AND OTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS FOR UNPAID SEWER ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER FEES AND CHARGES.

SB 834 prohibits foreclosure, assignment, or other enforcement actions for unpaid sewer assessments and similar fees on owner-occupied homes where the total debt is under $4,000. It requires a five-year waiting period from when a lien was filed before such actions can proceed, provided the debt remains unpaid. This bill directly affects homeowners with small outstanding sewer or utility fees on their primary residence. The law changes enforcement rules to delay collection actions for low-value debts, applying only to owner-occupied properties.
