RE: City of Mount Vernon Real Estate Transfer

Dear Associates:

The imposition of the additional transfer tax by the City of Mount Vernon has been amended. The City of Mount Vernon has adopted Local Law No. 3, 2000. Effective January 1, 2001 the Mount Vernon Transfer Tax shall be paid by the Grantor (Seller) instead of the Grantee (Buyer) as the current Law indicates. This change will not apply to a deed delivered pursuant to a contact made prior to January 1, 2001. A copy of the Local Law No. 3, 2000 is attached.
