HB 157 Engrossed 2022 Regular Session Bourriaque
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.
