BILL NUMBER:S4613
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 556 of the laws of 2007, amending the tax law, relating to the imposition of an additional real estate transfer tax within the county of Columbia, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
Purpose
This bill will extend the authorization for an additional real estate transfer tax in Columbia County until December 31, 2017.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends section 2 of Chapter 556 of the Laws of 2007, amending the tax law to provide for the extension of the imposition of an additional real estate transfer tax in Columbia County.
Section 2 provides for the extension of the repeal date through December 31, 2017. Section 3 sets forth an immediate effective date.
Justification
The Columbia County Board of Supervisors requested legislation to enable the County to impose an additional transfer tax to be used toward the financing of the County's capital expenditures and public improvement projects. Since 2007, the County has collected this tax and has reduced its dependence on the real property tax to address their fiscal needs. This bill will allow the County to continue to impose this tax.
