Middletown City Attorney Alex Smith told The Epoch Times that the recent amendment of delinquent property tax enforcement is significant for homeowners.

In September, the city council amended its laws governing enforcement of delinquent property taxes based on the Tyler v. Hennepin County decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld property owners’ right to the remaining home equity after payment of due taxes and fees.
