BILL NUMBER: S5946

SPONSOR: REICHLIN-MELNICK
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property tax law and the real property law, in
relation to the taxation of property owned by a cooperative corporation

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this legislation is to allow municipal corporations to
value newly constructed and converted cooperative and condominium units
as they would for real property to alleviate any negative impacts placed
on the locality by the current statute.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 581 of the Real Property Tax Law is
amended by adding a new paragraph: (d) The provisions of paragraph

(a) of this subdivision shall not apply to real property owned or leased

by a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis in a municipal
corporation, other than a special assessing unit, which has adopted,
prior to the taxable statue date of the assessment roll upon which its
taxes will be levied, a local law or, for a school district, a resol-
ution providing that the provisions of paragraph

(a) of this subdivision shall not apply to such real property within
that municipal corporation; provided, however, the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to real property owned or leased by a cooper-
ative corporation or on a condominium basis that had been previously
subject to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subdivision prior to
January 1, 2021.

Section 2. Subdivision 1 of section 339-y of the Real Property Law is
amended by adding a new paragraph: (g) The provisions of paragraph

(b) of this subdivision shall not apply to real property owned or leased
by a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis in a municipal
corporation other than a special assessing unit, which has adopted,
prior to the taxable status date of the assessment roll upon which its
taxes will be levied, a local law or, for a school district, a resol-
ution providing that the provisions of paragraph (b) of this subdivision
shall not apply to such real property within that municipal corporation;
provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to
real property owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a
condominium basis that had been previously subject to the provisions of
paragraph (b) of this subdivision prior to January 1, 2021.

Section 3. Establishes the effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

As currently written, the Real Property Tax Law and the Real Property
Law does not allow the sum of the assessments of individual cooperative
or condominium units to exceed the value of the entire complex if it was
valued as a single entity. The restriction tends to reduce condominium
and cooperative assessments by preventing the use of sales of units in
the assessment process. The Office of Real Property Services, assessors
and other local officials generally consider the restrictions an unrea-
sonable state mandate that unfairly limits the revenue-raising abilities
of local governments. Assessors and appraisers also cite the difficul-
ties they encounter when they are forced to ignore market information -
usually the best indicator of value in developing estimates of taxable
value. This bill would allow municipal corporations to value newly
constructed and converted cooperative and condominium units as they
would other real property to alleviate any negative impacts placed on
the locality by the current statute.

shall not apply to such real property within that municipal corporation;
provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to
real property owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a
condominium basis that had been previously subject to the provisions of
paragraph (a) of this subdivision prior to January 1, 2023. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to condos or co-ops that

regulatory agreement with a federal, state, or local agency related to
affordable housing requirements.

Section 2. Subdivision 1 of section 339-y of the Real Property Law is
amended by adding a new paragraph: (g) The provisions of paragraph (b)
of this subdivision shall not apply to real property owned or leased by
a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis in a municipal
corporation other than a special assessing unit, which has adopted,
prior to the taxable status data of the assessment roll upon which its
taxes will be levied, a local law or, for a school district, a resol-
ution providing that the provisions of paragraph (b) of this subdivision
shall not apply to such real property within that municipal corporation;
provided, however, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to
real property owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a
condominium basis that had been previously subject to the provisions of
paragraph (b) of this subdivision prior to January 1, 2023. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to condos or co-ops that
are participating in an affordable housing tax credit program or has a
regulatory agreement with a federal, state, or local agency related to
affordable housing requirements.

Section 3. Establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:


As currently written, the Real Property Tax Law and the Real Property
Law does not allow the sum of the assessments of individual cooperative
or condominium units to exceed the value of the entire complex if it was
valued as a single entity. The restriction tends to reduce condominium
and cooperative assessments by preventing the use of sales of units in
the assessment process. The Office of Real Property Services, assessors
and other local officials generally consider the restrictions an unrea-
sonable state mandate that unfairly limits the revenue-raising abilities
of local governments. Assessors and appraisers also cite the difficul-
ties they encounter when they are forced to ignore market information -
usually the best indicator of value in developing estimates of taxable
value. This bill would allow municipal corporations to value newly
constructed and converted cooperative and condominium units as they
would other real property to alleviate any negative impacts placed on
the locality by the current statute.
