A.R.S. §§ 41-18101 and 41-18104 require a County Treasurer to secure unpaid delinquent tax payments by selling tax liens at an aggregate amount equal to all unpaid taxes, penalties, interest and charges due on the property for which taxes are delinquent. A tax lien purchaser is awarded a certificate of purchase (CP), which bears interest at the bid rate beginning on the first day of the month following the sale of the lien. To redeem a property tax lien, the person owing the back taxes must pay the County Treasurer all fees, including taxes, interest and charges accrued on the property. If the county in which the lien is being redeemed has an elderly assistance fund, the county treasurer must deposit an amount equal to the difference between the CP interest rate and 16% as provided by A.R.S. §§ 42-18153 and 42-18053. … [Read more...] about 2015 Arizona Legislative Amendments Affecting Real Estate Lending

Fraud, Prescription Drugs, and the Elderly
Such a system may be beneficial in reducing fraud, if it could be shown that part of the reason that fraud occurs is because there are so many plans in place. A system with limited choice of Part D providers may not directly reduce fraud, but appears that its side effects may lead to such a result. It may be the case that if fewer plans are offered, government oversight could be greater because there would be fewer plans to monitor and audit; further, the quality of plans may improve.[97] Further, beyond concerns of fraud, the other benefit that may come with such a plan would be “simplicity” for the elder in choosing a Part D plan.[98] If limited plans are available, the first time an elderly individual enrolls, he may feel less overwhelmed and more willing to research plans that fit his needs best where the amount to research does not seem so vast and frustrating.[99] While the true effect on providers is uncertain, another benefit of limited Plans may be that Part D … [Read more...] about Fraud, Prescription Drugs, and the Elderly
