Current Committee:: Assembly Real Property Taxation
Law Section:: New York City

2017-S1379 - Summary

Establishes the New York city tax reform study commission to provide the governor and legislature with a blueprint of reforms to the real property taxation system in the city of New York.

2017-S1379 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1379

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to establish the New York city tax reform study commission, and
providing for its powers and duties

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To convene a group of experts to examine and provide recommendations
for the revision of New York City's real property tax system.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of this bill would establish the New York City tax reform
study commission.

Section 2 of this bill specifies that such commission be comprised of
11 members and delineates the appointing authorities and the fields
from which certain commission members must be chosen.

Section 3 of this bill provides that on or before January 1, 2019,
such commission shall provide the governor and the legislature with
recommendations on any changes necessary to achieve the purposes of
the commission.

Section 4 of this bill mandates that state and New York City agency
personnel be available to assist the commission in its work.

Section 5 of this bill provides an immediate effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The real property tax system in the city of New York has not been
revised in decades. From its four-class construct to its assessment
mechanism, this system is a labyrinth of often competing and
conflicting interests which result in uneven and inequitable results,
in many cases unintelligible to the general public.

This legislation is an attempt to begin a thoughtful review of the
city's arcane real property tax system with the goal of producing a
series of recommendations, which may lead to less opaqueness and more
equity for the city's taxpayers.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None to the State.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S1379C

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to establish the New York city tax reform
study commission, and providing for its powers and duties

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To convene a group of experts to examine and provide recommendations
for the revision of New York City's real property tax system.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of this bill would establish the New York City tax reform
study commission.

Section 2 of this bill specifies that such commission be comprised of
11 members and delineates the appointing authorities and the fields
from which certain commission members must be chosen.

Section 3 of this bill provides that on or before January 1, 2019,
such commission shall provide the governor and the legislature with
recommendations on any changes necessary to achieve the purposes of
the commission.

Section 4 of this bill mandates that state and New York City agency
personnel be available to assist the commission in its work.

Section 5 of this bill provides an immediate effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

The real property tax system in the city of New York has not been
revised in decades. From its four-class construct to its assessment
mechanism, this system is a labyrinth of often competing and
conflicting interests which result in uneven and inequitable results,
in many cases unintelligible to the general public.

This legislation is an attempt to begin a thoughtful review of the
city's arcane real property tax system with the goal of producing a
series of recommendations, which may lead to less opaqueness and more
equity for the city's taxpayers.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None to the State.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
