Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing the town of Schroeppel to repay to taxpayers monies erroneously received by such town as a result of overpaid special assessments
Purpose
Authorizes the town of Schroeppel in Oswego County to repay to taxpayers monies erroneously received by such town as a result of overpaid special assessments.
Summary of provisions
Authorizes repayment of monies to certain taxpayers of funds erroneously received by the town of Schroeppel as a result of taxes collected pursuant to the 2005 assessment roll based on inaccurate information.
Justification
The 2005 town budget was adopted and submitted to the Oswego County Treasurer containing transcriptional errors on the summary page for three water districts and one sewer district in the town of Schroeppel. The error involved applying amounts that should have been general obligations of the town to the respective districts, thus increasing the unit charge that appeared on the respective tax bills.
The town collected a significant amount of money which they are willing to return back to the taxpayer. However, in order for them to do this, special state legislation authorizing this action must be enacted. Therefore, this measure would allow the town to refund the overcharge in taxes back to the citizens of those impacted districts.
