2011-S6222 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S6222

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the base proportion
in approved assessing units in Nassau county

PURPOSE:
To allow approved assessing units under Article 19 of the
Real Property Tax Law to adjust and limit the current base
proportions to be determined by taxes based on such unit's 2012
assessment roll.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real
Property Tax Law by adding a new subparagraph (viii) to subdivision
3(a) to cap the maximum class growth rate at 1.00% in an approved
assessing unit for the purposes of the 2012 tax roll, provided that
the such aforementioned assessing unit has passed a local law,
ordinance or resolution providing therefor.

JUSTIFICATION:
Currently, state law provides that the current base
proportions of any class in an approved assessing unit may not exceed
the adjusted base proportion for that class from the prior year by
more than 5%. This legislation would adjust that rule, for one year

only, to cap the maximum cap growth rate at 1.00%. The change would
reduce the amount by which any class of property is allowed to grow.
This legislation reduces the burden to a class of properties, a
burden which would otherwise cause taxpayers in that class to see a
rate increase and the result being a significant increase in class
property tax bills. This bill proposes to limit the rate of growth to
1.00% to ensure that property tax liabilities are more equitably
distributed between the unit's classes of property.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
Chapter 92  of 2004
Chapter 20  of 2005
Chapter 24  of 2006
Chapter 46  of 2007
Chapter 123 of 2008
Chapter 382 of 2009
Chapter 273 of 2010
Chapter 36 of  2011

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the state or localities.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply
to the levy of taxes on the 2012 assessment roll in an approved
assessing unit.

AN ACT to amend the real property tax  law,  in  relation  to  the  base
  proportion in approved assessing units in Nassau county

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subparagraph (xiii) of paragraph (a) of  subdivision  3  of
section 1903 of the real property tax law, as added by chapter 36 of the
laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
  (xiii)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of law, in an approved
assessing unit in the county of Nassau and for current base  proportions
to  be  determined  by taxes based on such approved assessing unit's two
thousand eleven AND TWO THOUSAND TWELVE  assessment  [roll]  ROLLS,  the
current  base proportion of any class shall not exceed the adjusted base
proportion or adjusted proportion,  whichever  is  appropriate,  of  the
immediately preceding year, by more than one percent, provided that such
approved  assessing unit has passed a local law, ordinance or resolution
providing therefor. Where the computation of  current  base  proportions
would otherwise produce such result, the current base proportion of such
class  or  classes shall be limited to such one percent increase and the
legislative body of such approved assessing unit shall alter the current
base proportion of either class so that the  sum  of  the  current  base
proportions equals one.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the
levy of taxes based on the 2012 assessment roll  in  approved  assessing
units in the county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resol-
ution to adopt these provisions.
