BILL NUMBER:S1797
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the enforcement of taxes in certain school districts
Purpose
This bill amends the Real Property Tax Law to provide that the county shall pay fifty percent of the unpaid school taxes. The State Comptroller shall at the same time pay the other fifty percent. The county treasurer shall, on the first day of each and every month thereafter for the next eleven months, pay to the State Comptroller an amount equal to one-eleventh of the amount paid by the state so that the State is fully repaid by March 1st of the following year.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 1330 of the Real Property Tax Law to provide that the county treasurer shall pay fifty percent of the amount of unpaid taxes. The State Comptroller shall at the same time pay the other fifty-percent. Section 1 also adds a new paragraph (b) which provides that the county treasurer shall on the first day of each and every month thereafter for the next eleven months, pay to the State Comptroller an amount equal to one-eleventh of the amount paid by the state so that the state is fully repaid by March first of the following year. Section 2 provides that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Counties are experiencing great difficulties with their cash flow when having to make the schools whole for returned unpaid school taxes. By sharing the burden with the State and continuing to collect on the unpaid taxes, the counties will be in a better cash flow position and the State will be repaid within eleven months.
