Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Purchasing corporation with debt

When a corporation is purchased in NY, the assets are transferred. Are the debts also transferred? A company has $18,000 owed to the County of Genesee in fuel purchases, and has been purchased (or signed over) to a new owner. Does the debt to the county transfer, or does it become the debt of the selling president of the corporation?
