Parcels against which the county holds a tax sale certificate or a municipality holds a tax sale certificate acquired under section 446.19, parcels of municipal and political subdivisions of the state of Iowa, or parcels of the state or its agencies, shall not be offered or sold at tax sale and a tax sale of those parcels is void from its inception. When taxes are owing against parcels owned or claimed by a municipal or political subdivision of the state of Iowa, or parcels of the state or its agencies, the treasurer shall give notice to the appropriate governing body which shall then pay the total amount due. If the governing body fails to pay the total amount due, the board of supervisors shall abate the total amount due.          Section History: Early Form [C51, § 496; R60, § 763; C73, § 871; C97, § 1418; C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, § 7244; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, § 446.7]          Section History: Recent Form 83 Acts, ch 101, § 91; 83 Acts, ch 123, § 182, 209; 84 Acts, ch 1221, § 5; 91 Acts, ch 191, §60; 93 Acts, ch 73, §8; 99 Acts, ch 4, §1, 4; 2007 Acts, ch 54, §37 Referred to in § 447.1
