An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in general provisions, providing for electronic tax lien filing and centralized repository; and making a repeal.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Tax Reform Code to modernize how the state handles tax liens by introducing an electronic filing system and a centralized online repository. It directly affects the Department of Revenue, taxpayers, and creditors by requiring the department to post tax liabilities to a public website within seven days of a final assessment. The new system allows the department to maintain a searchable database of liens without needing to refile or revive them, while still requiring physical recording with county officials only when the state seeks to execute against specific property. Additionally, the legislation clarifies the priority of tax liens during judicial sales and establishes procedures for enforcing liens against out-of-state property.
