CROWN POINT â A proposed state law aimed at deterring tax-delinquent bad actors who fraudulently bid on properties at Lake County s tax sale auctions each year has cleared its first hurdle in Indianapolis. Â
Senate Bill 28, sponsored by Sen. Rick Niemeyer, R-Lowell, passed the Senate Local Government Committee 8-0 Thursday morning. Â
Lake County and other local governments across Indiana auction off properties whose owners are behind on tax payments each year as a way to recoup otherwise lost revenue and potentially enables winning bidders to take ownership of the properties. But each year, people who are already behind on taxes attempt to game the system, especially in Lake County.
Retroactive law may be partial fix to legal dispute between Lake Council, Commissioners
