Washington County - Notice of Tax Sale - Alterations

SB 499 modifies Washington County's requirements for notifying property owners about tax sales. It changes the newspaper notice requirement from four weekly publications to two notices in alternate weeks and mandates posting sale details on the county website four weeks before the sale. The bill also requires Washington County to send one additional notice copy to property owners within 15 days of the initial notice. These changes directly affect property owners in Washington County with unpaid taxes and the county collector responsible for tax sales. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026.
