This bill modifies various aspects of local government law in Iowa, specifically concerning property tax credits, rent reimbursements, abandoned mobile homes, and tax sales. It stipulates that claims for property tax credits or rent reimbursements must be accompanied by proof of income eligibility submitted to the county treasurer. Additionally, the definitions of "mobile home" and "valueless home" are expanded to include homes located in unincorporated areas and rural properties, respectively. This change aims to streamline the procedures for the removal of abandoned mobile homes and personal property, aligning them with existing regulations for manufactured homes and modular homes.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new definitions for "split" and "consolidation" of land parcels and establishes conditions under which these actions can occur without requiring a plat of survey. It also modifies the timeline for county treasurers to conduct tax sales, allowing them to reschedule the sale for good cause to a date no later than 120 days after the originally scheduled date. This flexibility is intended to accommodate unforeseen circumstances while ensuring that tax sales are conducted in a timely manner.
