56I Notice of tax in arrears
(1) If tax payable for a parcel of land has been in arrears for at least
1 year, the commissioner may give the owner of the parcel written
notice that the tax is in arrears.
(2) At any time after giving notice, the commissioner may declare, in
writing, that the tax for the parcel of land is in arrears.
(3) A declaration is a notifiable instrument.
(4) If the commissioner makes a declaration under subsection (2), the
commissioner must give additional public notice that the tax for the
parcel of land is in arrears.
Note Public notice means notice on an ACT government website or in a daily
newspaper circulating in the ACT (see Legislation Act, dict, pt 1). The
requirement in s (4) is in addition to the requirement for notification on
the legislation register as a notifiable instrument.
