RECOMMENDATION:
     

RESOLUTION APPROVING RELEVY OF DELINQUENT SCHOOL TAXES, VILLAGE TAXES, WATER RENTS AND SEWER TAXES (COUNTY TREASURER)


Resolution by Legislator: Kelly
Seconded by: Dimond

WHEREAS, Local Law 11 of 1987 provided for the collection of delinquent village taxes by the Montgomery County Treasurer; and

WHEREAS,  Real Property Law Section 1442 requires that the Montgomery County Legislature direct that these delinquent taxes be relevied.

RESOLVED, that the Montgomery County Legislature hereby approves the relevy, effective December 22, 2022, of delinquent School Taxes, Village Taxes, Water Rents, including the Harrower Water District and Towns of Florida & Glen Water Districts, and Sewer Taxes, including the Town of Amsterdam Sewer Services Area and Montgomery County Sanitary Sewer District No. 1, in equal installments on the January 2023 Town Tax Rolls.

RESOLUTION VOTE, passed with Aye(6). Legislators Dimond, Duchessi and VACANT were absent. (12/27/2022)



Statement of Legislative and Financial Impact:

I. Nature of Request:

Resolution requesting approval to relevy taxes on the 2023 Town & County tax bill.


II. Justification:

The relevy of School taxes, Village taxes and Water & Sewer charges is the County’s avenue for collection of these taxes and charges.  This is the process outlined for collection in Real Property Tax Law.  Also, by law, the County must guarantee and pay these taxes to make the individual schools and villages whole by March 31 of the subsequent year.  The majority of these relevied amounts are collected the first three months of the year, so the cash outlay for the County is minimized.  The resolution presented simply gives the County Treasurer the legislative approval to add these relevies to the Town & County tax bills.


III. Legislative Impact:

Authorized by Local Law 11 of 1987 .


IV. Financial Impact:

Collection of these relevies improves the cash flow of County before having to make the entities whole in March 2023
