TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to limiting base proportion of the 2009-2010 assessment roll in the
school districts in the town of Islip with special equalization rates

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To limit the base proportion for 2009-2010 limiting the amount of a
property tax shift from one class of property to another due to large
fluctuations in property values between property classes.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill amends subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 3
of section 103 of the real property tax law by extending for one more
year the legislation which limits the amount of a property tax shift
between classes of properties in the town of Islip which is caused by
large fluctuations in property values within classes.

JUSTIFICATION:
In Suffolk County there is a large differential in property tax value
increases between classes of property. This in turn causes a large
property tax increase in one class of property. Presently, the amount
of taxes which can be shifted from one class to another is generally
capped at five percent, but for the 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008
and the 2008-2009 tax rolls it was capped at 1 percent to protect
against large property tax shifts. This legislation will extend the

authority to cap the property tax shift for an additional year
(2009-2010 assessment roll) for school districts located within the
town of Islip.

This extension is only needed for the town of Islip as there is a
discrepancy between the base proportions that were computed for the
2004 roll of an approved assessing unit in the County of Suffolk and
the base prop011ions that would have been computed if the homestead
base proportion exceeded the homestead adjusted base proportion of the
immediately preceding year by two percent. This discrepancy needs to
be corrected so as not to create a large property tax increase. This
legislation is once again necessary to extend the cap on property tax
shifts to reflect such correction. This will create real property tax
stability for another year for approved assessing units within the
town of Islip.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
Similar to previous enacted legislation

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no costs to the state or localities. This bill will allow
for a more equitable distribution of real property taxes between
classes of property.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.

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