06/23/2026 - Environmental Concerns & Real Property Tax Services Committee

The Warren County New York Environmental Concerns & Real Property Tax Services Committee met on June 23, 2026, to discuss several procurement and property-related matters. Key procurement-related actions included a motion to authorize the abandonment and conveyance of a portion of Old State Route 8 to a neighboring property owner, Taverntown Incorporated, which was approved by the committee. The committee also reviewed a list of county-owned properties with outstanding taxes, discussing potential write-offs totaling approximately $311,000, and considered the sale or foreclosure of surplus parcels, including follow-up on a contract with the Town of Johnsburg for property purchase. Additionally, the committee discussed legislative efforts related to property tax assessments on condos and co-ops, aiming to push for fair market value taxation to protect the county's tax base. No direct budget impacts were expected from the tax write-offs as they would be budget neutral.
