N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1199-u: County may levy tax within district

§ 1199-u. County may levy tax within district. Should it appear to the

county legislature at any time that the revenue of the authority is or

will be insufficient to provide for the payment of any bonds issued

under this title and to reimburse the county for any moneys that it may

have advanced to the authority, the county legislature shall determine

the amount of money necessary to be raised for such purpose, and shall

levy a tax on the territory of the district located within the county

and upon the several parcels of real estate in the district located

within the county in an amount sufficient to produce the amount

necessary to be raised as aforesaid; provided that such tax shall not be

levied to pay any bonds of the authority unless the authority with the

consent of the county legislature has pledged such tax prior to the

issuance of such bonds. Such tax shall be levied and apportioned upon

such territory located within the county and collected from the several

parcels of real estate in the district located within the county in like

manner as other county taxes. It is hereby determined that the liability

imposed upon the territory included in the district located within the

county is based upon the special benefit to such territory accruing

under this title and that the tax to be levied because of such liability

and in proportion to the taxable value of real estate in such territory

will be in proportion to such benefits.
