Real Property - As enacted, authorizes a tax increment agency to enter into a taxpayer agreement relative to a plan area after obtaining a written statement executed by each holder of an existing, previously recorded mortgage or deed of trust on the property securing indebtedness and in which each holder consents to the taxpayer agreement and indicates that the assessment does not constitute an event of default under the existing mortgage or deed of trust. - Amends TCA Title 9, Chapter 23 and Title 67, Chapter 5.
HB 1892 allows housing authorities, industrial development corporations, and community redevelopment agencies in Tennessee to require property owners in designated redevelopment areas to make payments securing the agencies' bonds. These payments create a recorded lien on the property that takes priority over all existing and future mortgages or liens, treated like property taxes for enforcement. The agreement must include specific details like property description and owner names when filed with the county, and the lien remains with the land even if other debts are paid.
