The advisory commission proposes that unpaid taxes become a lien on the property. After three years, the city may auction the lien to the lowest interest bidder, up to 12 percent. The lien acts like a first mortgage if not paid, allowing the city to recover taxes promptly while owners retain ownership. The plan aims for fairness and practicality.
