HB 110 sets forth procedures to which a county or city must adhere in developing registries for foreclosed and vacant real property. The intent of these registries is to identify responsible parties that can be held accountable for properly maintaining the properties so that surrounding neighborhoods are not adversely affected.  The bill defines foreclosed and vacant properties and imposes a cap on registration fees at $100 per registration and fines for noncompliance at no more than $1000. The bill also expressly allows local governments to require owners of the registered properties to update contact information for properties in the registry. While ACCG opposed earlier versions of the bill which were designed to make registries infeasible, HB 110 in its current form, with amendments adopted by the Senate, is acceptable.  The effective date is July 1, 2012 pending the Governor's signature.
