TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the real property tax law, in

districts
PURPOSE : To allow payment of taxes in installments.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 - amends section 1326-a of the

resolution."
Section 2 - sets forth the enacting clause.
JUSTIFICATION : Currently if taxes are paid in installments the first
installment must be at least fifty percent of the total tax due. This
would allow by resolution reduced minimum payments which would lift
the burden on many taxpayers in this current economic crisis.
Moreover, the flexibility of the bill would allow tax collectors to
accept payments from taxpayers rather than turning them away if the
payment was not high enough.
