SUBJECT: INSURANCE
Circular Letter No. 4 (1990)
WITHDRAWN
TO: ALL INSURERS LICENSED TO WRITE FIRE INSURANCE IN NEW YORK STATE
RE: TAX DISTRICT CLAIMS AGAINST FIRE INSURANCE PROCEEDS
The purpose. of this Circular Letter, which supplements all previous Circular Letters concerning the listing of tax districts, is to provide an updated index of tax districts that have filed with this Department notice of intention to claim against fire insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 331 of the Insurance Law. The last complete listing was sent to all fire insurers by Circular Letter No. 14 (1982). Attached is the new index Of tax districts, which represents the current listing that, therefore supersedes the aforementioned 1982 listing.
All insurers are reminded of their obligations under Section 331. In particular, upon a final determination of an insurer's obligation to. pay any insurance proceeds for damages caused by fire to real property, each insurer should:
1. notify the enforcing officer, of each tax district in which the property is located and which is listed in the index, that a loss has occurred; and
2. demand a certification from such enforcing officers regarding all tax district liens on the properties in question.
Any inquiries on this subject", or concerning additional tax districts that file with this Department subsequent to the date of this Circular Letter, should be addressed to:
