This bill introduces several modifications to local government regulations, focusing on liens, property tax credits, rent reimbursements, abandoned mobile homes, and vehicle registration for nonresidents. Notably, it establishes new criteria for tax liens on residential properties valued at $20,000 or more, requiring county treasurers to notify landowners prior to initiating tax collection for delinquent taxes. Additionally, claims for property tax credits or rent reimbursements must now include proof of income eligibility. The bill also updates definitions and procedures for abandoned mobile homes, allowing for similar removal processes as those for manufactured homes, and introduces new definitions for "rural property" and "valueless home."

Furthermore, the bill revises the vehicle registration process for nonresidents, permitting alternative identification methods for property owners in Iowa. It also amends the scheduling of annual tax sales by allowing county treasurers to reschedule these sales for good cause, with a new date set no later than 120 days after the original date. This change aims to provide greater flexibility in managing tax sales while ensuring they occur within a reasonable timeframe. Overall, the bill enhances various local government processes without any deletions from current law.
