CANTON – St. Lawrence County officials and a legislator signaled willingness to explore a proposal from Ogdensburg where the county would take over tax collection and foreclosure from the city.
County Attorney Steve Button discussed the proposal with the board during their Monday, Feb. 22 Finance Committee meeting.
Button said if the county were to agree to the shift, it “could have a significant bearing on the county.”
“It has implications for Real Property, implications for the Treasurer’s Office, implications for my office,” he said.
Button added that the county could also choose “it can only assume a portion of it, or assume none of it.”
