DIVISION
VIII
——
MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
——
NUISANCE
28
PROPERTIES
AND
ABANDONED
BUILDINGS.
Division
VIII
of
the
29
bill
relates
to
nuisance
properties
and
abandoned
buildings.
30
The
division
requires
the
economic
development
authority
31
to
establish
a
nuisance
property
remediation
fund
for
the
32
purpose
of
providing
financial
assistance
to
cities
for
the
33
remediation
of
nuisance
properties,
abandoned
buildings,
and
34
other
structures.
The
division
provides
that
moneys
in
a
fund
35

S.F.
499
established
in
the
high
quality
jobs
program
may
be
deposited
1
in
the
nuisance
property
remediation
fund.
The
division
2
allows
the
authority
to
operate
the
fund
as
a
revolving
fund
3
and
to
use
moneys
in
the
fund
for
purposes
of
the
program,
4
or
the
authority
may
transfer
the
moneys
to
other
funds
it
5
has
created.
However,
the
division
states
that
the
authority
6
must
use
any
money
specifically
appropriated
for
nuisance
7
property
remediation
assistance
for
the
program.
Moneys
in
the
8
fund
consist
of
appropriations
and
any
other
moneys
lawfully
9
available
to
the
authority.
The
authority
may
provide
this
10
assistance
using
a
competitive
scoring
process.
The
division
11
requires
the
authority
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
12
city
concerning
the
assistance.
The
division
allows
the
13
authority
to
grant
priority
to
cities
with
severe
blighted
14
areas,
widespread
dilapidated
housing
stock,
or
high
rates
15
of
low
and
moderate
income
residents.
The
division
provides
16
that
the
amount
of
any
lien
created
for
costs
related
to
17
remediation
of
a
property
does
not
include
any
moneys
that
18
the
city
received
as
financial
assistance
under
the
program.
19
The
division
requires
the
authority
to
submit
a
report
to
the
20
general
assembly
and
the
governor’s
office
on
or
before
January
21
31,
2019,
describing
the
results
of
the
program
and
making
22
recommendations
for
program
changes.
23
Division
VIII
also
makes
changes
to
the
authority
of
24
cities
and
counties
relating
to
certain
abandoned
or
unsafe
25
buildings.
Code
chapter
657A
allows
a
city
or
county
to
take
26
action
to
abate
by
rehabilitation
a
building
used
primarily
for
27
residential
purposes
that
meets
the
statutory
definition
of
28
“abandoned”
or
“public
nuisance”,
as
those
terms
are
defined
29
by
the
Iowa
Code.
The
costs
associated
with
rehabilitating
30
the
building
that
remain
unpaid
by
the
owner
create
a
mortgage
31
lien
against
the
property.
In
lieu
of
abatement
through
32
rehabilitation,
Code
section
657A.10A
allows
a
city
to
file
33
an
action
in
district
court
to
take
title
to
an
abandoned
34
building.
The
court
may
award
title
to
the
petitioning
city
if
35
-54-
LSB
1019SV
(2)
86
ad/tm
54/
55
S.F.
499
the
court
finds
that
the
building
is
abandoned,
using
factors
1
established
in
statute,
or
if
the
city
establishes
that
all
2
interested
parties
received
proper
notice
and
the
interested
3
parties
either
consented
to
the
title
transfer
or
had
taken
no
4
action
to
comply
with
local
housing
official
orders
within
60
5
days
after
the
filing
of
the
petition.
6
The
division
amends
the
definition
of
“building”
in
Code
7
section
657A.1
to
include
buildings
used
or
intended
to
be
used
8
for
commercial
or
industrial
purposes
and
makes
corresponding
9
amendments
to
refer
to
the
local
building
code
or
local
housing
10
code,
as
applicable.
11
Currently,
Code
section
657A.10A
requires
that
service
12
of
notice
of
the
filing
of
the
petition
for
title
be
made
13
on
interested
parties
by
certified
mail
and
by
posting
on
14
the
building.
The
division
provides
that
service
shall
be
15
by
personal
service
or
certified
mail
or,
if
service
cannot
16
be
made
by
either
method,
by
posting
on
the
building
and
17
publication
in
a
newspaper
of
general
circulation
in
the
city.
18
The
division
also
amends
Code
section
657A.10A
to
add
to
the
19
listing
of
factors
for
the
court
to
consider
when
determining
20
whether
property
has
been
abandoned.
