Section 1306. Levy of taxes  


Latest version.
  • 1. Immediately after a tax shall have been
      voted by a district meeting for a purpose  arising  during  the  current
      school  year,  the school authorities shall levy it, make out the school
      tax roll therefor and annex thereto a warrant for its collection.  Where
      a  tax  is  voted at an annual school meeting for school purposes during
      the following school year, the  school  authorities  shall  prepare  the
      school tax roll therefor and, on or before September first annex thereto
      a warrant for its collection. They may at the same time levy two or more
      taxes  so voted, and any taxes they are authorized to raise without such
      vote, and make  out  one  school  tax  roll  and  one  warrant  for  the
      collection of all such taxes. They shall prefix to the school tax roll a
      heading  showing  for  what  purpose  the different items of the tax are
      levied unless the tax is raised to meet the appropriations of the annual
      budget, in which event the tax roll shall show such information.
        2.  The provisions of subdivision one of this section shall  apply  to
      the  levy  of  taxes  by  city school districts for the nineteen hundred
      ninety-seven--ninety-eight school year and thereafter, except where such
      provisions are inconsistent with  this  subdivision.    In  city  school
      districts  upon  adoption of the budget for the following school year in
      accordance with section twenty-six hundred one-a of the  education  law,
      and  the  completion of the necessary assessment rolls of the city, town
      or county, as the case may be, the school authorities shall  prepare  or
      cause to be prepared a school tax roll for the tax required to be levied
      as  stated in such budget. Such authorities shall, not later than ninety
      days after the beginning of the fiscal year,  confirm  such  school  tax
      roll  and annex thereto a warrant for the collection of such tax. Except
      as otherwise provided in section thirteen hundred twenty-six or  section
      thirteen  hundred  twenty-seven  of this chapter, the collecting officer
      shall be required to return such warrant within ninety  days  after  the
      date of such confirmation.
        3.  In  a  school  district  in  which in any fiscal year a resolution
      requiring supplemental assessment rolls is  in  effect  as  provided  in
      section  thirteen  hundred  thirty-five  of  this  chapter,  the  school
      authorities shall levy fifty per centum of the amount of taxes  required
      to  be  levied  on  or before the first day of September, as provided in
      this section, on the regular school tax roll for such fiscal  year,  and
      the  remaining  fifty  per centum on or before the first day of March on
      the supplemental school tax roll for such fiscal year.
        4. The warrant for the collection of taxes levied on the  supplemental
      school  tax  roll shall be annexed thereto on or before the first day of
      March and shall contain appropriate directions  for  the  collection  of
      such  taxes  within  collection  periods  corresponding to those for the
      collection of taxes levied on the regular school tax roll. Upon  receipt
      of  such  warrant,  the  collecting officer shall give notice thereof as
      provided in section thirteen hundred twenty-two of this chapter, and the
      fees and interest provided  in  subdivisions  one  and  two  of  section
      thirteen  hundred  twenty-eight  of  this  chapter  shall  apply  to the
      collection of taxes levied on the supplemental school tax roll.
        5. Notwithstanding any provision of this section requiring  annexation
      of  a  warrant, if a tax roll is prepared in machine readable form only,
      the annexation requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the  warrant  is
      filed  as  provided  in  section  fifteen  hundred  eighty-four  of this
      chapter.
