§ 1226. Special equalization rates; tax apportionment. 1. If the
commissioner finds that there has been a material change in level of
assessment in a town or city since the last state equalization rate was
established, it shall determine and certify a special equalization rate
for tax apportionment purposes to the district superintendent of schools
for use in the apportionment of school taxes as provided in section
thirteen hundred fourteen of this chapter.

2. If the commissioner finds that the last state equalization rate is
inequitable for part of a town or city within a school district or
special district, it shall determine a special equalization rate for
such part and shall furnish such rate to the district superintendent of
schools or the clerk of the county legislative body, as the case may be;
provided that with respect to levies on behalf of special districts, the
same be certified at least fifteen days prior to the last date set by
law for such levy.

3. If the commissioner finds that the latest state equalization rate
for a town is inequitable for the town or part thereof located in a
village which has adopted a local law pursuant to subdivision three of
section fourteen hundred two of this chapter, it shall determine a
special equalization rate and furnish such rate to the clerk of the
village board of trustees.
