Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend chapter 549 of the laws of 2005 amending the tax law relating to authorizing the county of Herkimer to impose a county recording tax on obligation secured by a mortgage on real property, in relation to extending the effectiveness thereof
AI Summary
This bill extends the authorization for Herkimer County to impose a county recording tax on mortgages for an additional two years, specifically moving the expiration date from December 1, 2025, to December 1, 2027. A county recording tax is a fee charged by a county when certain legal documents, in this case mortgages, are officially recorded with the county government. The bill makes a targeted amendment to an existing law from 2005 that originally granted Herkimer County the ability to levy this specific tax. By extending the authorization, the county will continue to have the legal ability to collect this tax on mortgage-related documents for two more years, which likely provides an important source of local government revenue. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a seamless continuation of the county's existing taxing authority.
