BILL NUMBER: S3208 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to the administration of property tax assessments for certain orchards and vineyards PURPOSE : This bill amends an existing property tax exemption for reinvestment in orchards and vineyards by establishing a more streamlined process to implement the exemption. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill amends section 305 of the agriculture and markets law by establishing that the amount of taxes that qualified newly or replanted orchard and vineyards will be exempt from under this program will be based on the average per acre assessment of the tillable land of the total taxable parcel, not the specific assessment of the qualified acre- age. JUSTIFICATION : The new or replanted orchard property tax exemption recognizes that investing in new orchards and vineyards means the land will not produce a viable crop for six years after planting due to the plants need to grow and mature.
