BILL NUMBER: S1871

SPONSOR: RITCHIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to certain state
lands in the county of Oswego which shall be subject to taxation

 
PURPOSE:

Makes certain acquired state lands in the towns of Albion, Amboy, Boyl-
ston, Constantia, Parish, West Monroe and Williamstown, in the county of
Oswego, subject to taxation.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Amends subdivision (g) of section 532 of the real property tax law to
include the towns of Albion, Amboy, Boylston, Constantia, Parish, West
Monroe and Williamstown, in the county of Oswego to be subject to taxa-
tion.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The State through DEC has purchased tracts of land in Oswego County
located within the Towns of Albion, Amboy, Boylston, Constantia, Parish,
West Monroe and Williamstown.

These Oswego County acres were purchased by the State in order to
protect this region's wildlife habitat. NYSDEC has developed a habitat
protection plan to conserve these Oswego County lands and are known as
the Happy Valley Wildlife Management Area, the Little John Wildlife
Management Area and the Three Mile Bay Wildlife Management Area.

These lands in Oswego County have been identified as a critical compo-
nent of the state's efforts to conserve open space, providing agricul-
tural products, scenic open space and vital wildlife habitat.  There is
precedent in other counties for similarly situated lands that are
purchased by the state and are subject to taxation.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2019-2020: S.3949/A.6302A Similar legislation passed both houses of the
legislature unanimously and was signed into law as Chapter 196 of the
Laws of 2018.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law and shall apply to assessment
rolls prepared on the basis of taxable status dates occurring on or
after such date.
