Latest version.
  • 1. The county treasurer shall collect and receive
      all levies, charges, other revenue of the district and grants in aid and
      assistance and keep a true account of all such receipts.  Unpaid  levies
      and  charges  shall  be  a  lien upon the real property upon which or in
      connection with which improvements were provided as and from  the  first
      day fixed for payment of such levies and charges.
        2.  The  county treasurer shall prepare, and transmit to the governing
      body, on or before the first day of December in  each  year  a  list  of
      those  residents or property owners within the county who are in arrears
      in the payment of levies or charges for a period of thirty days or  more
      after  the last day fixed for payment of such levies and charges without
      penalty. The list shall contain a brief description  of  the  properties
      for  which  the  improvements were provided, the names of the persons or
      corporations liable to pay for the same and  the  amount  chargeable  to
      each,   including   penalties   and   interest   computed   to  December
      thirty-first. The governing  body  shall  levy  such  sums  against  the
      properties  liable  and  shall  state  the  amount thereof in a separate
      column in the annual tax rolls of the various municipalities  under  the
      name  of  "county  hurricane  protection,  flood  and  shoreline erosion
      control improvement district tax". Such amounts, when collected  by  the
      several  municipal  collectors or receivers of taxes, shall be paid over
      to the county treasurer. All of the provisions of the tax  laws  of  the
      state  of  New  York  and  the  Suffolk  county  tax  act  covering  the
      enforcement and collection of unpaid taxes or  assessments  for  special
      improvements  not inconsistent herewith shall apply to the collection of
      such unpaid levies and charges.  Such  amounts,  when  received  by  the
      county  treasurer,  shall  be credited to the applicable county district
      fund and shall be used only for such county district purposes.
