Property taxation: redemption: permanent installment plan.

Existing property tax law permits, at the election of the assessee, the installment payment of delinquent taxes on tax-defaulted property under an installment payment plan. Existing law also permits a one-year deferral of payment under an existing installment plan if the county was declared by the Governor to be in a state of emergency or disaster due to a major misfortune or calamity and specified conditions are met, including that the installment plan was already in existence at the time deferral is requested by the assessee or the agent of the assessee.

This bill would modify the above-described condition to be that the installment plan was already in existence, or that the taxpayer had submitted an application for the installment plan, at the time deferral is requested by the assessee or the agent of the assessee. The bill would also remove an obsolete definition from these provisions.
