BILL NUMBER:S2034 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to exemptions for improvements to real property meeting certification standards for green buildings PURPOSE: To authorize municipal corporations to establish a maximum exemption amount for an exemption for improvements to real property meeting LEED certification standards for green buildings. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would authorize municipal corporations that adopt the provisions of Section 470 of the Real Prop- erty Tax Law to provide an exemption for improvements to real property meeting LEED certification standards for green buildings, to include a maximum exemption amount in its local law, ordinance or resolution. JUSTIFICATION: Section 470 of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes municipal corporations to provide an exemption to certain properties meeting LEED certification standards for green buildings. This section provides a set benefit schedule. Several localities have expressed an interest in adopting the provisions of this section, but are concerned that it would be too costly. This bill would make clear that municipal corporations have the ability to limit the exemption to a specific dollar amount, allowing them to limit the cost of the program. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Legislation, 2013.
