BILL NUMBER:S2529
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to permanently exempting a homeowner from tax increases when
installing a solar energy system on their home
PURPOSE: To exempt a homeowner from any property tax increase after
installation of a solar energy system on their home
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1- amends subdivisions 2 of section 487
of the Real Property Tax law to remove the current limitation of 15
years on any increased assessment for wind, solar and farm waste to
energy systems. Section 5 is amended to allow any home solar energy
systems constructed after January 1, 2016 to receive this incentive.
Section 8 is repealed to clarify that this tax exemption applies to
county city, town, village and school taxes.
Section 2- contains the effective date
JUSTIFICATION: This legislation would modify the Real Property Tax law
regarding real property which includes a solar energy system, wind
energy system and farm waste system. Currently, there is a fifteen
year real property tax increase exemption for anyone who installs the
aforementioned systems. These structures provide positive benefits to
the environment, a reduction in pollution caused by power plants
striving to meet the needs of the local energy demand, reduces the
