(1)A suit for the enforcement of the tax liens brought pursuant to KRS 91.484 to

91.527 shall be instituted by filing with the Circuit Court clerk a petition, containing

a caption in substantially the following form:

______________ Circuit Court

__________ Division

No. ___________ City of ______________ Plaintiff

VS. ___________ Parcels of Land Encumbered with Delinquent Tax Liens Defendants

(2)The petition also shall contain a separate count for each parcel of real estate

included in the action. Each count in the petition shall set forth those items of

information required of the collector in KRS 91.484(2) and shall list the name of

any taxing authority or person of record owning or holding any tax bill or claiming

any right, title, or interest in or to, or lien upon, any such parcel of real estate as set

out in the petition, and a claim. The specific right, title, or interest either owned or

claimed, or lien held, by any taxing authority other than the city or by other

interested persons of record need not be set forth in the action.

(3)The petition shall conclude with a claim that all city tax liens upon such real estate

be enforced; that the court determine the amounts and priorities of all tax bills,

together with interest, penalties and costs; that the court order such real estate to be

sold by the master commissioner pursuant to the provisions of KRS 426.560 to

426.715, except as otherwise provided in KRS 91.4885, and that a report of the sale

be made by the master commissioner to the court for further proceedings under the

provisions of KRS 91.484 to 91.527.

(4)The petition so filed shall have the same effect, with respect to each parcel of real

estate described, as a separate suit instituted to enforce the tax lien against any one

(1)of the parcels of real estate. The invalidity of any separate count shall not in any

way affect the validity of the remainder of the proceedings with respect to any other

count in the action.
