[Adopted 7-2-2024 by L.L. No. 4-2024]
The Board finds that it would be in the best interest of the
Town and its taxpayers to defray the cost of producing duplicate property
tax bills that are required to process the property tax payments made
by certain third-party payers of property taxes by establishing a
fee for this service.
Pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law § 10, Subdivision 1(ii)a(9-a), the Receiver of Taxes is hereby authorized to collect a fee of $10 when a bank, lending institution, financial institution, title insurance company or abstract company or their agent requests a physical duplicate tax bill or when they fail to include the original bill with their payment.
The Receiver of Taxes shall turn over to the Supervisor the
fees received and the Supervisor shall credit such fees to the appropriate
revenue account in the general fund.
