[Adopted 12-21-2004 by L.L. No. 4-2004; amended in its entirety at time
of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Section 922 of the Real Property Tax Law provides the form and
content of the town and County tax bill to be mailed by the collecting
officer in each town and showing the amount of taxes due on each party.
Cayuga County received 12.7% revenue on transactions done at the Cayuga
County Department of Motor Vehicles in the City of Auburn. Mail-in
Department of Motor Vehicles renewal forms are preprinted with a central
processing office address and a notice stating they must be renewed
by mail, which is misleading. It is important that Cayuga County residents
are notified that it is still possible to renew Department of Motor
Vehicles transactions locally and that by doing so, it will help reduce
County taxes.
In addition to the information required by Real Property Tax
Law § 922, information notifying County residents that they
may renew Department of Motor Vehicles transactions locally, thus
keeping the 12.7% revenue in Cayuga County versus going to the state,
will be distributed as a separate enclosure inserted into the tax
bill mailing.
