NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A8687
SPONSOR: Norber TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 280 of the laws of 2016 authorizing the village
of Plandome Manor to enter into a contract to sell or pledge as collat-
eral for a loan some or all of the delinquent liens held by such village
to a private party or engage a private party to collect some or all of
the delinquent tax liens held by it, in relation to the effectiveness
thereof
PURPOSE OF THE BILL:
THIS BILL EXTENDS THE PROVISION OF LAW ALLOWING THE VILLAGE OF PLANDOME
MANOR TO SELL DELINQUENT TAX LIENS TO THIRD PARTIES.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 extends the authority of the Village of Plandome Manor to
enter into a contract to sell some or all of its delinquent tax liens to
private parties, and allows the village to set the terms and conditions
of sale for an additional three years, until December 31', 2028.
Section 3 establishes the effective date and sunset date.
JUSTIFICATION:
This bill extends the authority of the Village of Plandome Manor to
enter contracts to sell delinquent tax liens to third parties. This
authority has granted to municipalities throughout the state on a case
by case basis. This bill merely extends the authority previously granted
to the Village of Plandome Manor. Uncollected taxes adversely impact the
municipality's ability to meet their operating expenditures and provide
for the delivery of necessary and essential local government services,
amplifying the risk of future real property tax increases and negatively
impacting those taxpayers who timely remit payment. There exists limited
means for municipalities to expedite the collection of such delinquent
taxes and that it is in the public interest to increase the number of
methods available to municipalities to expedite such collections. Many
delinquencies often remain unpaid thereby creating a lien against.the
affected real property. The assignment or sale of such tax liens, either
individually or in bulk, will enable municipalities to expedite the
receipt of anticipated revenues and provide a new funding source for
municipalities that have significant budgetary problems.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
