(hereinafter referred to as “Parvis Parcel”), which has been wholly exempt pursuant to Real Property Tax Law §1138 since 2001 due to an environmental hazard on the parcel; and WHEREAS, the Parvis Parcel has been exempt pursuant to RPTL §1138 since 2001 and no taxes are generated on the parcel other than a small capital charge for sewer which the County Treasurer regularly cancels and charges back to the Town of Fallsburg pursuant to a Certificate of Prospective Cancellation filed with the Sullivan County Clerk in 2001; and WHEREAS, in 2022, the Town of Fallsburg caused the improvement(s) on the Parvis Parcel to be demolished and thereafter levied a demolition fee of $46,449.50 onto the parcel; and WHEREAS, the Sullivan County Treasurer believes that it is in the best interest of the County to cancel the demolition fee together with penalties and interest due and owing on the Parvis Parcel since the same would be considered unenforceable pursuant to §558 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the County Treasurer is so authorized to cancel the demolition fee, penalties and interest assessed to the Parvis Parcel noted above pursuant to Section 558 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York.
