§ 166-9. Refunds.  


Latest version.
  • If, within one year from the payment of any tax or penalty, the payer thereof shall make application for a refund thereof and the City Treasurer or the court shall determine that such tax or penalty or any portion thereof was erroneously or illegally collected, the City Treasurer shall refund the amount so determined. For like cause and within the same period, a refund may be so made on the initiative of the City Treasurer. However, no refund shall be made of a tax or penalty paid pursuant to a determination of the City Treasurer as hereinbefore provided unless the City Treasurer, after a hearing as hereinbefore provided, or of his own motion, shall be made out of moneys collected under this article. An application for a refund, made as hereinbefore provided, shall be deemed an application for the revision of any tax or penalty complained of and the City Treasurer may receive additional evidence with respect thereto. After making his determination, the City Treasurer shall give notice thereof to the person interested, and he shall be entitled to a certiorari order to review such determination, subject to the provisions hereinbefore contained relating to the granting of such an order.
