DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The City of Albany, Mr. Trey Kingston, has submitted an Application for Corrected Tax Roll on behalf of John & Lynn Del Signore, owners of 166 Dove St, City of Albany NY, Tax ID # 76.39-3-27.
A Clerical Error as defined by RPTL §550 (2) (c), has occurred. 166 Dove St is eligible for the historic property tax exemption granted pursuant to RPTL 444-a but the exemption was not applied to the 2023 City of Albany School District Tax Bill. The 2023 school tax bill went unpaid and has since been turned over to Albany County for collection. As we are now collecting the tax bill the Albany County Legislature has the authority to correct this erroneous delinquent tax.
Real Property Tax Law §554 allows for the correction of Clerical Errors made on the assessment and tax roll. I recommend that the Albany County Legislature approve the correction to the tax rolls and authorize the issuance of a corrected bill in the amount of $590.80 plus any applicable penalties and interest.
