HB 1141

Abstract

Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that, in cases of the sale of homestead property in all counties (now, only in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants), a tax deed may also be voided by the court upon petition, filed not more than 3 months after an order for tax deed was entered, if the court finds that the property was owner occupied on the expiration date of the period of redemption and that the order for deed was effectuated pursuant to a negligent or willful error made by an employee of the county clerk or county collector during the period of redemption from the sale that was reasonably relied upon to the detriment of any person having a redeemable interest. Amends the Conveyances Act. Provides that, in all counties (now, only in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants), whenever any deed or instrument of conveyance is executed, the grantor of residential property shall provide the grantee of the property with an individual permanent index number or numbers that specifically represent the legal description provided for in the deed or instrument of conveyance.
