 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 28, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Real Property Taxation

 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to tax lien
 transfers; and to repeal title 4 of article 9 of the real property tax
 law relating to acceptance of taxes from certain loan corporations

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Title 4 of article 9 of the real property tax law is
 2 REPEALED and a new title 4 is added to read as follows:
 3 TITLE 4
 4 TAX LIEN TRANSFER AUTHORIZATIONS
 5 Section 960. Legislative intent.
 6 961. Definitions.
 7 962. Tax lien transfer.
 8 963. Tax lien transfer authorization.
 9 964. Tax lien transfer certificate.
 10 965. Property tax lien payment agreement.
 11 966. Foreclosure.
 12 967. Redemption.
 13 § 960. Legislative intent. The Legislature finds that local govern-
 14 ments are struggling under the weight of increased costs, reduced reven-
 15 ues and increased stresses on their respective municipal budgets. The
 16 Legislature also finds that property owners are struggling under the
 17 weight of high property taxes and need some assistance in paying those
 18 taxes in order to prevent foreclosure and the sale of their property tax
 19 liens to third parties involuntarily. The Legislature finds that it is
 20 in the best interests of the residents of the state of New York and the
 21 local governments to allow property owners to voluntarily enter into
 22 agreements with private entities to provide for the payment of their
 23 property taxes. Currently, property owners are required to pay their
 24 taxes in full. Allowing property owners to increase the payment term

 1 will help alleviate the pressure on these already financially stressed
 2 residents and business owners. Moreover, local governments will increase
 3 their revenue collections and spend less on actions to collect unpaid
 4 taxes, such as tax lien sales and tax lien foreclosures, because the
 5 property tax payors will pay taxes in full, all at once.
 6 § 961. Definitions. As used in this title the following terms shall
 7 have the following meanings:
 8 1. "Property tax payor" means a person who advances money for the
 9 payment of real property taxes directly to a municipal government at the
 10 request of a property owner. Also referred to as a "transferee."
 11 2. "Property tax payment" means the amount of money advanced for the
 12 payment of property taxes pursuant to a property tax lien transfer
 13 authorization and property tax lien payment agreement.
