Description
[47 A.D.2d 17 Page 18] Petitioner is a public authority created for the purpose of constructing and operating a public water supply system within the territorial limits of Erie County, exclusive of the City of Buffalo and the Town of Tonawanda (Public Authorities Law, 脗§脗§ 1050 -- 1073). In 1971 it purchased 27.69 acres of real property in the Town of Tonawanda for possible use in the expansion of its facilities. The sale was subject to an existing lease-back to a private corporation. The authority contends that the property was tax exempt and is before us challenging the action of the County Legislature in placing the property on the assessment rolls. The respondents, various taxing bodies and officials in Erie County, maintain that the property was subject to real property tax assessment since it was not devoted to a public purpose.
