Latest version.
  • 1. The village treasurer
      shall, immediately after the receipt of the tax roll and  warrant,  mail
      statements  of  taxes  in  the  same  manner as provided in section nine
      hundred  twenty-two  of  this  chapter  for  city  and  town  collecting
      officers.
        1-a.  The  collecting  officer  shall  further  enclose with each such
      statement a notice that any taxpayer who owns residential real  property
      consisting  of  no  more than three family dwelling units and who is age
      sixty-five or over or who is disabled is  eligible  for  a  third  party
      notification  procedure  if  desired.  Such  notice shall state that any
      eligible  taxpayer  wishing  to  participate  in  such  procedure   must
      designate  an  adult  third  party  to  receive  notification,  that the
      designated third party must consent  to  such  notification,  where  the
      appropriate  application  form  may be obtained, and that an application
      form must be filed  with  the  collecting  officer  of  the  appropriate
      municipal  corporation  no  later  than  a  specific  date, as chosen by
      resolution of the legislative body of such municipal corporation,  which
      date  shall  be no earlier than sixty days prior to the levy of taxes by
      or on behalf of such municipal corporation. Duplicates of subsequent tax
      bills and notices of unpaid taxes shall be mailed to  such  third  party
      until  such  time  as the property owner or administrator or executor of
      the estate of such property owner notifies  the  collecting  officer  in
      writing  that third party procedure should cease or until such time as a
      change of ownership is indicated on  the  tax  roll  or  the  collecting
      officer  receives  notice  of  a change of ownership pursuant to section
      five hundred seventy-four of this chapter. The collecting officer  shall
      mail  an application form to any eligible taxpayer who requests the same
      and who includes a self-addressed, stamped envelope with such request.
        2. The board of trustees may provide by resolution  that  the  village
      treasurer  shall  cause  to  be  enclosed with the statement showing the
      amount of tax due, a summary of the adopted budget and an explanation of
      the computation of the tax rate.
        3. Any person or corporation, who or which owns or has an interest  in
      real  property  in  the  village and is a non-resident thereof, may file
      with the village clerk a description of such real property sufficient to
      identify the same and the name and address of such  person  or,  in  the
      case of a corporation, the name and the address of the principal office,
      and  thereafter  a  statement  as above provided shall be mailed to each
      such person or corporation.  The failure to mail any such statement,  or
      failure  of  the  addressee to receive the same, shall not in any manner
      affect the validity of the taxes or the interest  imposed  by  law  with
      respect thereto.
