Summary

The bill divides West Virginia tax‑sale procedures into two tracks: owner‑occupied residences keep existing protections, while non‑owner‑occupied properties face stricter notice requirements, no right to redeem, and limited post‑sale remedies. It also mandates an independent title examination and sets new notice and redemption processes. The goal is to protect primary homes while speeding the sale of abandoned or speculative properties.
