properties.

If any party obtains a judgment against a tax delinquent property within the
county for the taxes and, to satisfy the judgment, the property is ordered sold at
a tax sale pursuant to KRS 91.504 or other provision of the Kentucky Revised
Statutes, if no person bids an amount equal to the full amount of all tax bills,
interest, and costs owing on the property at the sale, the authority shall be
deemed to have bid the full amount of all tax bills, interest, and costs due to all
parties of the authority regardless of whether or not they are all parties to the
lawsuit. The authority shall not be required to make actual payment to the court
for the amount deemed to have been bid. The court, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, shall treat the amount deemed to have been bid as cash
received. Upon proper motion by the authority, the court shall make a deed of
the property to the "Land Bank Authority." The title to the property shall be an
absolute estate in fee simple, free and clear of all tax bills, interests, and costs
owing to the parties of the authority but shall be subject to rights of way of
public utilities on which tax has otherwise been paid and subject to any right of
redemption of the United States of America, if any.
When a property is acquired by the authority, all state, county, city, and school
district taxes shall be extinguished.
At the time that the authority sells or otherwise disposes of property as part of
its land bank program, the proceeds from the sale shall be distributed as
follows:
(a) The party or parties bringing the action that resulted in the acquisition of
the property by the land bank authority shall be reimbursed, to the extent
proceeds are available, for all costs incurred; and
(b) Any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to the parties in proportion to
their respective tax bills. Conveyance of a property to a party shall not
constitute disposal.
