BILL NUMBER:S5424

Purpose of bill

To authorize municipalities, at their choosing, to add unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs and fines to such municipality's annual tax levy.

Summary of provisions

Section One - Amends the real property tax law by adding a new section 901.

Section 901 - Collection of unpaid housing code violation penalties; levy. Sub Section One - Notwithstanding any other provisions of any general, special, or local law, code or charter, a municipality, except those having a population of one million or more, may collect any unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs and fines through placement by the official authorized to administer a municipality's annual tax levy.

Sub Section Two - In order to be eligible for placement on a municipality's annual tax levy such unpaid housing code violation penalties, costs and fines will have been adjudicated and imposed through a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction on an owner for real property within the municipality and have remained unpaid for one year preceding the placement on the municipality's tax levy.

Sub Section Three - Such housing code violation penalty, cost of fine will be set down in the annual tax levy under the heading uncollected fines and penalties and will be levied, enforced and collected in the same manner, by the same proceedings, at the same time, under the same penalties and having the same lien upon the property assessed as the general municipal tax and as a part thereof.

Section Two - This act will take effect immediately.

Justification

This bill would allow unpaid housing code violation penalties that have remained unpaid for one year to be added to the municipality's annual tax levy. It would also have collection of the fines enforced and collected in the same manner by the same proceedings, and at the same time. This would save municipality's time and money through this collection process.
