BILL NUMBER: S367
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to adjusted
base proportions in the town of Colonie
PURPOSE :
To allow special assessing units under Article 19 of the Real Property
Tax Law to adjust and limit the current base proportions to be
determined by taxes based on such unit's 2009 assessment roll.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real Property Tax Law by adding a
new subparagraph (x-i) to subdivision 3(a) to cap the maximum class
growth rate at 1.00% in an approved assessing unit for the purposes of
the 2009 tax roll.
JUSTIFICATION :
Currently, state law provides that the current base proportions of any
class in an approved assessing unit may not exceed the adjusted base
proportion for that class from the prior year by more than 5%. This
legislation would adjust that rule, for one year only, to cap the
maximum cap growth rate at 1.00%. The change would reduce the amount
by which any class of property is allowed to grow, thereby resulting
in a property tax increase. This legislation reduces the burden to a

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 1903 of the real

ADJUSTED PROPORTION, WHICHEVER IS APPROPRIATE, OF THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING YEAR BY MORE THAN ONE PERCENT. WHERE THE COMPUTATION OF

SUCH ONE PERCENT INCREASE AND THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF SUCH APPROVED
ASSESSING UNIT SHALL ALTER THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF EITHER CLASS
SO THAT THE SUM OF THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS EQUALS ONE.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the
levy of taxes based on the 2009 assessment roll in an approved assessing
