COMMITTEE ACTION:
SF 563 – Property demolition reserves
SF 563 allows an insurer that has issued a fire/causality insurance policy for the payment of damages to real property located in a city must reserve an amount equal to $20,000 or 10%, whichever is greater. Currently, the required amount is $10,000 or 10% of payment, whichever is greater. The bill gives cities the ability to sue the property owner to cover demolition and court costs. Finally, the bill requests an interim study committee to review the demolition reserve statute to consider whether it meets the needs of cities.
