BILL NUMBER:A9042A
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to payments of taxes in installments in certain school districts
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow payment of taxes in installments.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 - amends section 1326-a of the real property tax law. Current law is every tax in excess of fifty dollars may be paid in three installments, the first of which shall be at least fifty percent of the total tax due. This bill would add a provision to read "or such other amount as may be prescribed by such resolution."
Section 2 - sets forth the enacting clause.
Justification
Currently if taxes are paid in installments the first installment must be at least fifty percent of the total tax due. This would allow by resolution reduced minimum payments which would lift the burden on many taxpayers in this current economic crisis. Moreover, the flexibility of the bill would allow tax collectors to accept payments from taxpayers rather than turning them away if the payment was not high enough.
