(b) During such transition period, if a parcel is subject both to a
lien or liens arising prior to the effective date of the repeal and to a
lien or liens arising on or after such effective date, the procedures
applicable to the enforcement of delinquent taxes shall depend upon the
lien or liens upon which the enforcement proceeding is based; provided,
that if an installment agreement is executed pursuant to section eleven
hundred eighty-four of this article, the agreement shall apply to all
outstanding liens held by the tax district, no matter when arising.
(c) After the conclusion of such transition period, if the enforcement
of such prior lien or liens shall not have been concluded, as evidenced
by the issuance of a tax deed, the amount due shall be relevied and
enforced in accordance with the procedures then applicable to the
enforcement of taxes.
3. Pre-existing liens held by other parties. For purposes of the
enforcement of taxes which shall have become liens prior to the
effective date of such repeal, and which are held by a party other than
the tax district, the provisions of the applicable general, special or
local laws that shall have been in effect on the last day preceding such
date, shall continue in effect, as fully and to the same extent as if
such laws had not been repealed or superseded by this article.
4. Transitional option. With regard to taxes becoming liens during the
first year beginning on the effective date of such repeal, the tax
district may adopt a local law without referendum increasing the
redemption period for all property to three or four years after lien
date. With regard to taxes becoming liens during the following year, the
tax district may adopt a local law without referendum increasing the
redemption period to three years after lien date.
