Abstract: Adds integrated coastal projects, projects listed in the comprehensive master
coastal protection plan, and levee or drainage projects carried out by any
governmental entity to the list of interests affecting immovable property that do not
terminate when title is acquired through tax sale.
Present law provides for tax sale title and that persons who acquire ownership of property
through a tax sale title take the ownership subject to any interests that are not terminated in
accordance with present law. Further provides that mineral rights; pipeline servitudes;
predial servitudes; building restrictions; and dedications in favor of political subdivisions,
the public, or public utilities are rights that do not terminate upon tax sale title.
Proposed law retains present law and adds integrated coastal projects, projects listed in the
comprehensive coastal master plan, and levee or drainage projects carried out by any
governmental entity to this list.
