Mortgage tax distributions up 2.2% countywide; Dunkirk and Jamestown show large gains
Summary
The committee reviewed mortgage tax distributions that were 2.2% higher than the same period last year countywide, with Dunkirk up 16.1% and Jamestown up 99.2%; the committee accepted the distributions as presented.
Committee member Pierre reviewed the county’s mortgage tax distributions and said total distributions were up 2.2% from the same period last year. "This distribution in total is up 2.2% over last year," he said, noting the City of Dunkirk is up "16.1" percent and Jamestown is up "99.2%" from the same period last year.
The chair acknowledged the numbers and observed that if some cities rose sharply, others must have fallen for the overall increase to be only 2.2%. The committee had no further questions and approved the mortgage tax distributions by voice vote; the chair declared the motion carried. The transcript shows an exchange of figures but does not provide granular explanation of drivers behind the increases.
The committee did not take additional public comment on distribution specifics at this meeting.
