Relates to authorizing the city of Niagara Falls to add unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs and fines to such city's annual tax levy
This bill allows the city of Niagara Falls to add unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs, and fines to the city's annual property tax levy. It applies only to properties where violations were legally adjudicated by a court, remain unpaid for one year, and total at least 5% of the property's tax value. The bill excludes owner-occupied primary residences and requires the city to provide tenant relocation assistance if a rental property faces tax foreclosure due to unpaid violations. Property owners can still pay the debt directly, enter payment plans, or cure violations to avoid foreclosure. The city must notify property owners and follow specific notice and foreclosure procedures.
