Allows municipalities to relieve property owners of penalties due to lack of payment if such property owner was a victim of property tax fraud

Summary

The bill lets the governing body of any tax district waive, in whole or in part, interest and penalties on delinquent property taxes when the owner proves they were defrauded. Owners must submit evidence such as affidavits, bank statements or police reports, and the waiver cannot exceed one year of the delinquent period. If the waived amounts would be owed to a municipal corporation, that corporation must consent.
