DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly dismissed this action as time-barred. The plaintiff is the former owner of certain real property on Fire Island, for which the taxes applicable to the year 1993-1994 were not paid. A tax deed issued to the defendant County of Suffolk was recorded on April 7, 1998. The plaintiff was given actual notice of the tax deed within six months of that date ( see Matter of ISCA Enters. v. City of New York, 77 N.Y.2d 688, cert denied 503 U.S. 906; cf. Campbell v. City of New York, 77 N.Y.2d 688, 698-699, cert denied sub nom Matter of ISCA Enters. v. City of New York, 503 U.S. 906; Meadow Farm Realty Corp., Ltd. v. Pekich, 251 A.D.2d 634, 635 ). The plaintiff commenced this action on May 16, 2002, after the expiration of the three-year limitations period applicable to the plaintiff's claims ( see Suffolk County Tax Act § 53; D S Realty Dev. v. Town of Huntington, 295 A.D.2d 306; Bidnick v. Johnson, 253 A.D.2d 779; Ivins v. County of Suffolk, 220 A.D.2d 388; Marettera Corp. v. Sgroi, 156 A.D.2d 344). Contrary to the plaintiff's contention, repealed Real Property Tax Law § 1020(3) may not be relied upon to save this action from dismissal.
We also reject the plaintiff's claims that the defendants failed to give him notice that the statutory redemption period would expire in April 2001 and that the defendants told him as late as 2001 that he could redeem the property at any time before an auction sale, and that these claims are not time-barred. The plaintiff is charged with knowledge of the statutory provisions affecting the control or disposition of his property ( see Sheehan v. County of Suffolk, 67 N.Y.2d 52, cert denied 478 U.S. 1006). Moreover, he may not rely on the defendants' alleged error to estop them from asserting the statute of limitations as a defense, when reasonable diligence would have revealed the inaccuracy of the information to a good-faith inquirer ( see Matter of Parkview Assocs. v. City of New York, 71 N.Y.2d 274, 282, cert denied 488 U.S. 801; Lily Pond Enters. v. City of New York, 149 A.D.2d 412, 413-414).
In light of our determination, the parties' remaining contentions need not be reached.
