Bill > A05007

This bill extends the authorization for Greene County to impose an additional mortgage recording tax by changing the expiration date from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. A mortgage recording tax is a fee charged when a mortgage is recorded with county officials, which generates revenue for local government. Specifically, the bill amends a previous law (chapter 218 of the laws of 2009) that originally granted Greene County the ability to levy this extra tax. By pushing the expiration date forward by two years, the county will continue to have the legal authority to collect this additional tax beyond the previously set deadline. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing for a seamless continuation of the county's existing tax authority.
