BILL NUMBER:S6498
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 218 of the laws of 2009 amending the tax law relating to authorizing the county of Greene to impose an additional mortgage recording tax, in relation to extending the effectiveness thereof
Purpose
To extend the municipal home to allow the extension of mortgage recording costs
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends Section 2 of chapter 218 of the laws of 2009 to authorize Greene County to impose an additional mortgage recording tax
Section 2 includes effective date
Justification
Current state legislation allowing Greene County to impose a 0.5% additional mortgage recording tax will expire effective December 1, 2014. If this were to happen, Greene County would be faced with a devastating tax revenue loss which would no doubt result in a drastic decrease in services, coupled with the elimination of more jobs.
In this economy, the County can benefit from any and all revenue available - this increase would certainly aid their financial benefit.
