BILL NUMBER: S7696

SPONSOR: STEC
 
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:

To allow the towns to consider the sum of the assessments of individual
cooperative or condominium units to exceed the value of the entire coop-
erative or condominium complex if valued as a single entity

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1- Adds a paragraph to subdivision one of section 581 of the
Real Property Tax Law to authorize the towns of Bolton, Horicon, Thur-
man, Queensbury, and Warrensburg to pass a local law to exclude the Town
from the section's provisions related to the sum of the assessments of
individual cooperative or condominium units.

Section 2 - Adds a paragraph to subdivision one of section 339-y of the
Real Property Law to authorize the towns of Bolton, Horicon, Thurman,
Queensbury, and Warrensburg to pass a local law to exclude the Town from
the section's provisions related to the sum of assessments of individual
cooperative or condominium units.

Section 3 - Provides effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

As currently written, the Real Property Tax Law and the Real Property
Law does not allow towns to consider the sum of the assessments of indi-
vidual cooperative or condominium units to exceed the value of the
entire complex if it was valued as a single entity.

The restriction reduces condominium and cooperative assessments by
preventing the use of sales of units in the assessment process.  State
and local officials widely regard the restriction as an unreasonable
state mandate that unfairly limits the ability of local governments to
generate revenue.

Town boards from each town included in this legislation have passed
resolutions seeking this authority.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to assessment
rolls prepared on the basis of taxable status dates occurring on or
after January 1, 2025.
