Description

Financing for repairs to failed septic systems. Authorizes a locality, by ordinance, to create a loan program to enable the repair of property owners' failed septic systems. Any such ordinance is required to describe the arrangement of the loan program, including any partnership with a planning district commission, and is permitted to provide for the repayment of the loan through water or sewer billings, real property tax assessments, or other billings. The bill authorizes other features of a loan program and permits a locality to set a minimum ownership interest or minimum level of proof of ownership of the property for situations in which it is extremely difficult or impossible to identify all of the people who have an ownership interest in the property.
