BILL NUMBER: S4656
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the Suffolk county tax act, in
relation to the sale of delinquent tax liens on brownfields property
PURPOSE/SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : The amendment would allow Suffolk
County to sell or dispose of tax liens for less than outstanding tax
due on lien on parcels identifies by the County as Brownfields. The
sale or disposal of the County tax liens on these parcels will satisfy
open real property tax liens and promote the return of these parcels
to a productive real property taxpaying use.
JUSTIFICATION : Suffolk County acquires an interest and, in most
instances, take title by tax deed to real property for non-payment of
taxes. However, the County has decided not to take title for
non-payment of real property taxes on parcels identified as
Brownfields. A parcel is identified as a Brownfield site as a result
of its past use and/or the presence of known contamination on the
site.
In many instances, the tax liens held by the County on Brownfield
parcels and the cost to remediate the property are, in most instances,
in excess of the appraised value of the property assuming the site is
without contamination. Allowing the County the option to sell or
dispose of the tax liens for less than the outstanding tax due on a
Brownfield parcel with the requirement that the buyer will remediate
