FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



Small business tax burdens would not change; however, if delinquent tax payments would be applied differently than under current law then there could be changes in interest and late payment charges.





DESCRIPTION



This proposal would allow county collectors to apply real property tax payments to delinquencies tax on the parcels in question before applying the payment to current taxes. However, payments of real property taxes by financial institutions from escrow accounts would be applied to current taxes. (Under current law real and personal property tax payments must be applied to delinquent taxes before being applied to current taxes due.)



This proposal would also make an exception to the three-year statute of limitations on proceedings to collect delinquent property taxes. The three-year period would not begin tolling on property which had been tax-exempt and became taxable until the revised title for the land was recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not DESCRIPTION (continued)



require additional capital improvements or rental space. This proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
