This bill proposes amendments to the West Virginia Code regarding the service period for notice of tax lien sales and the statute of limitations for actions to set aside a deed. Specifically, it reduces the notice period from 30 days to 15 days for serving notice to individuals residing in the state, as well as for those not residing in the state. Additionally, the time frame for publication of notice when an individual's address is unknown is also shortened from 60 days to 30 days.
Furthermore, the bill decreases the statute of limitations for individuals entitled to notice who were not served from two years to one year following the delivery of the deed. This change aims to streamline the process for tax lien sales and related legal actions, ensuring that property owners and interested parties are notified more promptly and have a shorter time frame to contest deeds if they were not properly notified.
