Condo owners put up a fight

January

Piermont condo owners have threatened a lawsuit over taxes for more than a year. Last week, they followed through with that threat.

Representatives of three condominium complexes filed suit against the village for an astonishing $85 million dollars. They argued that Piermont is unfairly taxing them by making them pay for services that they get and pay for privately through their condos. That includes snow removal, road maintenance, paving projects and hydrants.

Lawyer Dennis Lynch thinks the village should consider some kind of special taxing district for condos to mark the difference in services.

The village’s side of the argument is that the condo owners drive through village streets and use sidewalks in the village just like any other homeowner and should pay those taxes.

What do you think?
