Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to allowing statements of taxes via electronic mail
Purpose
Allows local tax collectors to send tax statements by elec- tronic mail to an address provided by a homeowner and to opt out of receiving paper statements.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 922 of the real property tax law, as amended by section 5 of part B of chapter 389 of the laws of 1997 and subparagraph (iii) as amended by chapter 256 of the laws of 2005, is amended to provide the option of receiving tax statements by electronic mail.
Section 2. Effective date
Justification
Technology allows consumers to receive financial state- ments, utility bills, and conduct various other transactions from their personal computer in a cheap, reliable and, efficient manner. This bill would give consumers the option of receiving their tax statements via electronic mail also. This option to taxpayers would therefore not only provide increased accessibility and convenience to the customer, but it would also help in greening our environment through the, inevitable paper and solid waste savings such a measure would create.
