BILL NUMBER:S211
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the time period for refunds attributable to clerical error or an unlawful entry
Purpose
To amend the tax law to allow for a full refund or credit against an outstanding tax on taxes paid by a person when a clerical error is made by the tax levying body.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 556 of the real properly tax law, as amended by chapter 616 of the laws of 2002 removing the three year limitation on a tax refund due to a clerical error.
Justification
Currently the real property tax law allows for a refund to be paid within three years after a tax was overpaid due to a clerical error. However, many persons do not notice the error within that three year period. Due to the fact that the error was made on the part of the tax levying body and not the person filing taxes a refund for the full amount overpaid should be granted.
