                                BILL NUMBER:S6476

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 OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To allow approved assessing units under Article 19 of the Real Property
Tax Law to adjust and limit the current base proportions to be deter-
mined by taxes based on such unit's 2014 assessment roll.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real Property Tax Law by adding a
new subparagraph (xiv) to subdivision 3 to cap the maximum class growth
rate at 1% in an approved assessing unit for the purposes of the 2014
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 maxi-
mum cap growth rate at 1%. 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% to ensure that property tax liabilities
are more equitably distributed between the unit's classes of property.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Chapter 94 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,
Chapter 30 of 2012,
Chapter 85 of 2013.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state or localities.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the levy of
taxes based on the 2014 assessment roll in 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. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 1903 of the  real
property tax law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (xv) to read as
follows:
  (XV)  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 FOURTEEN ROLL, THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF ANY  CLASS  SHALL
NOT EXCEED THE ADJUSTED BASE PROPORTION OR ADJUSTED PROPORTION, WHICHEV-
ER  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 2014 assessment roll in approved assessing
units in the county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resol-
ution to adopt these provisions.
