Pataki) › Section 5.84 - Executive Order No. 84: Extending the Period for Paying Real Property Taxes Without Interest in the Village of Arcade due to a Disaster Emergency. [*]

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, beginning on June 25, 1998, a series of severe
					 thunderstorms brought torrential rains and flash floods, deluging several
					 counties in New York State and causing emergency evacuations, damage to
					 residential and commercial properties, as well as the disruption of vital
					 transportation within the Counties of Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Wyoming and
					 contiguous areas;
WHEREAS, this event resulted in personal hardship and
					 damage to residential and commercial property, and it continues to pose a
					 threat to the public health and safety;
WHEREAS, by Executive Order Number 82, I declared a
					 disaster emergency in the affected counties, and directed State agencies to
					 respond as necessary to assist those affected counties in restoring vital
					 public transportation systems and to provide such other assistance as necessary
					 to protect the public health and safety;
WHEREAS, village property taxes for the 1998 fiscal year
					 are currently due in the Village of Arcade, County of Wyoming;
WHEREAS, by virtue of section 1432 (1)  of the Real Property
					 Tax Law, such taxes would normally be payable without interest only through
					 July 1, 1998;
WHEREAS, such taxes would normally be subject to interest
					 if paid after that date;
WHEREAS, section 925-a (2)  of the Real Property Tax Law, as
					 added by chapter 389 of the Laws of 1997, authorizes the Governor to issue an
					 executive order during a State disaster emergency, extending the period for
					 paying real property taxes without interest by up to seven days in a county,
					 city, town, village or school district in the affected area, if the chief
					 executive officer of the county, city, town, village, or school district
					 requests such an extension;
WHEREAS, a request for such an extension has been received
					 on behalf of the Village of Arcade; and
WHEREAS, given the hardships continuing to face the people
					 of the Village of Arcade as a result of the ice storm, such an extension is
					 warranted;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE E. PATAKI, Governor of the State
					 of New York, pursuant to section 925-a (2)  of the Real Property Tax Law, do
					 hereby retroactively extend by seven days, the period for paying real property
					 taxes without interest that are currently due in the Village of Arcade as of
					 July 1, 1998, so that such taxes shall be payable without interest through July
					 8, 1998.
FURTHER, by virtue of the same section 925-a (2)  of the Real
					 Property Tax Law, any taxes not paid by such date shall be subject to the same
					 penalties and interest that would have applied if no such extension had been
					 granted.
Signed: George E. Pataki
Dated: July 7, 1998
