[Adopted 8-11-1994 by L.L. No. 2-1994]
The County of Sullivan recognizes that it is
difficult for many people to timely pay their real property taxes
and has undertaken to help to provide a mechanism to enable taxpayers
to deposit money into a special account with their local bank, similar
to a Christmas Club, for the accumulation of these necessary funds.
The local banks have agreed to participate in this program at the
request of the Chairman of the County Legislature.
Local Tax Collectors are hereby authorized to
include with each tax bill an enclosure in the form of the notice
hereinbelow to notify taxpayers of their opportunity to participate
in this voluntary program with their local bank. This authorization
will terminate upon the termination of the program by the banks.
The notice to be included with the tax bill
by the Collector shall be in the following form:
|
"Local banks have agreed to participate in a
program to provide an account in the nature of a Christmas Club, whereby
you will be able to deposit money on a regular basis to be used for
the payment of your future taxes as they become due. The bank will
not assume responsibility to pay the tax; the bank will issue a check
directly to you and you
|
|
will be able to accumulate the funds necessary
to pay the tax."
|
|
Please contact your local bank to inquire of
its participation in this program."
