Tax Certiorari Bond Authorization - $5 Million
Authorization for bond act to finance up to $5 million in tax certiorari payments for 2026 through the general fund. Historical payments have been approximately $2.9 million annually, but increased activity is expected in Yonkers, White Plains, and Greenberg due to commercial property value decreases from vacancies. The county has not bonded for tax certioraris in several years; this is a contingency authorization.
- Authorization only; actual bonding will depend on fiscal year revenue performance, particularly sales tax receipts
