Planning official urges IDA to require tax compliance from developers seeking assistance
Summary
Pam Tarlow, First Deputy Commissioner of Planning, recommended the IDA require developers seeking assistance to demonstrate current real property tax status and provide proof of payment as part of applications; the board recorded the recommendation but did not adopt a policy at the meeting.
Pam Tarlow, First Deputy Commissioner of Planning, told the board she "recommended a resolution be considered to require all developers seeking IDA assistance to be current on real property taxes and provide proof of same." The recommendation was presented as a staff proposal to protect municipal priorities and ensure applicants are not delinquent on local obligations.
Board members discussed administrative practices but did not vote on a formal policy during the meeting. The recommendation is now on record and may be brought back as a draft resolution for formal consideration at a future meeting, potentially linked to the agency’s due-diligence practices and application checklist.
