No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require persons bidding on real property at court-ordered public sales or tax sales to obtain a written statement from the county assessor-collector where the sale occurs stating that the person did not owe delinquent property taxes to that county or to a school district or municipality having territory in that county. This provision would not impact taxable property values reported to the Commissioner of Education by the Comptroller. As a result, no fiscal impact to the State for this provision is anticipated.
