Lien Be Gone

HB 3613 has been fully implemented by the Manufactured Housing Division of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs removing all tax liens delinquent beyond the statute of limitations of four years that are not preserved as a result of a tax suit being filed, payment plan in force, bankruptcy, judgment, or deferred plan.  TMHA was notified on January 15, 2014 that the Department had purged from its title and lien recording database all tax liens impacted by the law changes of HB 3613.

HB 3613 was one of our top legislative goals during the 2013 Texas Legislative Session.  The state law change stands as an example of how sensible, balanced and equitable laws in our great state make the MH industry better for consumers and industry alike.  For the future every year on January 1 non-preserved liens turning more than four years old will undergo the processes of notification and, when applicable, release.
