Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill authorizes Cattaraugus County to impose an additional 25 cents per $100 mortgage recording tax.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends the tax law by adding a new Section 253-x which describes the manner in which the additional mortgage recording tax is collected and lays out all requirements of the new section.
Section 2 says that this act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be deemed repealed on December 1, 2012.
Justification
