The Real Property Tax Sale Delay Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 proposes to amend section 47-1332 of the District of Columbia Official Code by canceling the tax sale scheduled for July 15, 2026, and prohibiting any tax sales from occurring until at least September 20, 2026. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Chief Financial Officer send notice of this cancellation to all property owners who were previously notified of tax delinquency.

To implement these changes, the bill modifies subsection (a) by replacing the phrase "(c) and (d)" with "(c), (d), and (d-1)" and introduces a new subsection (d-1). This new subsection outlines the cancellation of the tax sale and the requirement for notification to affected property owners. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will expire 225 days after its enactment, pending approval by the Mayor and a congressional review period.
