§  253-e.  Recording  tax  imposed  by the county of Broome. 1. Broome
  county, acting through its local legislative body, is hereby  authorized
  and  empowered to adopt and amend local laws imposing in such county   a
  tax of twenty-five cents for each one hundred dollars and each remaining
  major fraction thereof of principal debt or obligation which is or under
  any contingency may be secured at the date of execution thereof,  or  at
  any time thereafter, by a mortgage on real property situated within such
  county  and  recorded  on  or  after  the date upon which such tax takes
  effect and a tax of twenty-five cents on such mortgage if the  principal
  debt or obligation which is or by any contingency may be secured by such
  mortgage is less than one hundred dollars.
2.  The  taxes  imposed  under  the authority of this section shall be
  administered and collected in the same manner as the taxes imposed under
  subdivision one of section two hundred fifty-three and paragraph (b)  of
  subdivision  one  of  section  two  hundred  fifty-five of this article.
  Except as otherwise provided in this section, all the provisions of this
  article relating to or applicable to the administration  and  collection
  of  the  taxes  imposed  by  such  subdivisions shall apply to the taxes
  imposed under the authority of this section with such  modifications  as
  may  be  necessary to adapt such language to the tax so authorized. Such
  provisions shall apply with the  same  force  and  effect  as  if  those
  provisions  had  been  set  forth  in full in this section except to the
  extent that any provision is either inconsistent  with  a  provision  of
  this  section or not relevant to the tax authorized by this section. For
  purposes of this section, any reference in this article to  the  tax  or
  taxes  imposed by this article shall be deemed to refer to a tax imposed
  pursuant to this section, and any reference to the phrase  "within  this
  state"  shall  be  read  as  "within  Broome county", unless a different
  meaning is clearly required.
3. Where the real property covered by the mortgage subject to the  tax
  imposed  pursuant  to  the authority of this section is situated in this
  state but within and without the county imposing such tax, the amount of
  such tax due and payable to such county shall be determined in a  manner
  similar to that prescribed in the first paragraph of section two hundred
  sixty  of  this  article which concerns real property situated in two or
  more counties. Where such property is situated both within  such  county
  and  without  the state, the amount due and payable to such county shall
  be determined in the manner prescribed in the second paragraph  of  such
  section  two  hundred  sixty which concerns property situated within and
  without the state. Where real property is situated  within  and  without
  the  county imposing such tax, the recording officer of the jurisdiction
  in which the mortgage is first recorded shall be required to collect the
  taxes imposed pursuant to this section.
4. A tax imposed pursuant to the authority of this section shall be in
  addition to the taxes imposed by section two hundred fifty-three of this
  article.
5. Notwithstanding any provision of this article to the contrary,  the
  balance  of  all  moneys  paid to the recording officer of the county of
  Broome during each month upon account of the tax imposed pursuant to the
  authority of this section, after deducting the necessary expenses of his
  office as provided in section two hundred  sixty-two  of  this  article,
  except  taxes  paid  upon  mortgages  which under the provisions of this
  section or section two hundred sixty of this article  are  first  to  be
  apportioned  by  the commissioner, shall be paid over by such officer on
  or before the tenth day of each succeeding month to the commissioner  of
  finance  of  Broome county and, after the deduction by such commissioner
  of finance of the necessary expenses of his or her  office  provided  in
  section  two hundred sixty-two of this article shall be deposited in the

  general fund of the county of Broome and shall only be  appropriated  by
  the  county  legislature  of the county of Broome to fund the office for
  aging of such county. Notwithstanding the provisions  of  the  preceding
  sentence,  the  tax  so  imposed  and  paid upon mortgages covering real
  property situated in two or more counties, which under the provisions of
  this section or section two hundred sixty of this article are  first  to
  be  apportioned by the commissioner, shall be paid over by the recording
  officer receiving the same as provided  by  the  determination  of  said
  commissioner.
6.  Any  local  law  imposing  a tax pursuant to the authority of this
  section or repealing or suspending such a tax shall take effect only  on
  the  first  day  of  a  calendar  month.  Such  a local law shall not be
  effective unless a certified copy thereof is  mailed  by  registered  or
  certified  mail  to  the  commissioner  at  the commissioner's office in
  Albany at least thirty days prior to the date the local law  shall  take
  effect.
7.  Certified  copies of any local law described in this section shall
  also be filed with the  county  clerk  of  the  county  of  Broome,  the
  secretary  of state and the state comptroller within five days after the
  date it is duly enacted.
