PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 447.1, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    A parcel sold under this chapter and chapter 446 may be
  1  4 redeemed at any time before the right of redemption expires,
  1  5 by payment to the county treasurer, to be held by the
  1  6 treasurer subject to the order of the purchaser, of the amount
  1  7 for which the parcel was sold, including the fee for the
  1  8 certificate of purchase, and interest of two one percent per
  1  9 month, counting each fraction of a month as an entire month,
  1 10 from the month of sale, and the total amount paid by the
  1 11 purchaser or the purchaser's assignee for any subsequent year,
  1 12 with interest at the same rate added on the amount of the
  1 13 payment for each subsequent year from the month of payment,
  1 14 counting each fraction of a month as an entire month.  The
  1 15 amount of interest must be at least one dollar and shall be
  1 16 rounded to the nearest whole dollar.  Interest shall accrue on
  1 17 subsequent amounts from the month of payment by the
  1 18 certificate holder.  
  1 19                           EXPLANATION
  1 20    Prior to being sold at tax sale, delinquent taxes incur an
  1 21 interest penalty at the rate of 1.5 percent per month payable
  1 22 to the county.  After tax sale, the delinquent taxes incur an
  1 23 interest penalty of 2 percent per month payable to the tax
  1 24 sale certificate holder upon redemption of the property by the
  1 25 delinquent taxpayer.  This bill reduces from 2 percent per
  1 26 month to 1 percent per month the rate of interest applied
  1 27 against the amount of delinquent property taxes on parcels
  1 28 sold at tax sale.  By operation of law, by means of a
  1 29 reference in Code section 445.3 to Code section 447.1, the
  1 30 bill also reduces from 2 percent to 1 percent per month the
  1 31 interest penalty that attaches to a property tax judgment
  1 32 obtained by a city or county as a tax sale certificate holder.
