Sale of land to pay charge
136K Sale of land to pay charge
If a council sells land as a result of a failure to pay an environmental upgrade charge, the unpaid environmental upgrade charge ceases to be a charge on the land when the purchase money for the land is paid to the council (even if the purchase money is insufficient to satisfy the amount of the unpaid environmental upgrade charge).
However, if the purchase money is insufficient to satisfy the amount of the unpaid environmental upgrade charge, a person who, before the sale, was liable to pay the environmental upgrade charge continues to be liable to pay the outstanding amount of the unpaid environmental upgrade charge.
Section 719(b) of the Act does not apply in respect of an environmental upgrade charge.
