                                BILL NUMBER:S4395

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 determined 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 (xvi) 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
maximum 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;
Chapter 333 of 2014.

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 2015 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 (xvi)  to  read
as follows:
  (XVI)  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 FIFTEEN 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 2015 assessment roll in approved assessing
units in the county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resol-
ution to adopt these provisions.
