This bill proposes several updates to existing statutes regarding liens in Arizona. It introduces new language that clarifies the notification process for property owners, occupants, and lessees by specifying that notices must be sent to "the owner's, occupant's or lessee's last known address" instead of using the pronoun "his." Additionally, it mandates that 100% of any assessed fines be deposited into the county's general fund, with at least 50% allocated for illegal dumping cleanup. The bill also allows the county treasurer, at the board of supervisors' discretion, to include assessment amounts on property tax bills.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the payment structure for assessments, updating the thresholds for payment timelines based on the amount assessed, such as changing "five hundred dollars" to "$500" and adjusting other amounts accordingly. It also emphasizes the requirement for the board of supervisors to consult with the state historic preservation officer before removing dilapidated buildings. Lastly, it clarifies that the sale of a real property tax lien does not extinguish any lien for assessments levied under specific titles, including the newly referenced section 11-268.
