Section 936. Return of unpaid delinquent taxes  


Latest version.
  • 1. Upon the expiration of
      his warrant, each collecting officer  shall  make  and  deliver  to  the
      county  treasurer  an  account,  subscribed  and affirmed by him as true
      under the penalties of perjury, of all taxes  listed  on  the  tax  roll
      which  remain  unpaid,  except  that  such  collecting officer shall not
      include in such account the amount of the installments of taxes returned
      unpaid pursuant to section nine hundred  twenty-eight-b  or  subdivision
      one  of  section  nine  hundred  seventy-six of this chapter. The county
      treasurer shall, if satisfied that such account is correct,  credit  him
      with  the  amount  of such unpaid delinquent taxes. Such return shall be
      endorsed upon or attached to the tax roll.
        2. In making the return of unpaid taxes, the collecting officer  shall
      add  five  per  centum to the amount of each tax as levied. In the event
      that the collecting officer fails to do so, the county  treasurer  shall
      make  such addition. In a county in which there is a local law in effect
      pursuant to section nine hundred twenty-eight-b or section nine  hundred
      seventy-two  of  this  chapter  providing for the collection of taxes in
      installments, the five per centum provided by this subdivision shall not
      be added to the taxes which a real property owner has elected to pay  in
      installments  pursuant to section nine hundred twenty-eight-b or section
      nine hundred seventy-five of this chapter. Such five per centum shall be
      added by the county treasurer to the amount of such taxes as shall  have
      remained  unpaid  after the date upon which the last installment was due
      as provided in such local law. The amount of such added per centum shall
      thereafter be deemed part of the amount of the unpaid tax.
