2013-S3585 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S3585

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to increasing maximum income eligibility levels for real property tax
exemptions for seniors

PURPOSE:  To gradually increase the income levels for the senior citizen
partial real property tax exemption that may be enacted by local govern-
ments over a five year period.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends Real Property Tax Law section 467 to increase the
income eligibility levels for the partial real property tax exemption
that local governments may provide to property owners who are at least
65 years old.

The exemption, which ranges from 45% to 5%, uses a sliding scale based
on the property owner's income to determine the exemption amount.

For years beginning before July 1, 2014, the maximum exemption of 45%
would be available to property owners with an income that is less than
the maximum income level for the locality plus $1,000. The minimum
exemption of 5% would be available to property owners with an income
that is less than the maximum income level for the locality plus $8,400.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2014 and before July 1, 2015,
the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,250. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income . that is less than the maximum income level for
the locality plus $10,500.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2015 and before July 1, 2016,
the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,500. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income that is less than the maximum income level for the
locality plus $12,600.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2016 and before July 1, 2017,
the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,750. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income that is less than the maximum income level for the
locality plus $14,700.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2017, the maximum exemption of
450 would be available to property owners with an income that is less
than the maximum income level for the locality plus $2,000. The minimum
exemption of 5% would be available to property owners with an income

that is less than the maximum income level for the locality plus
$16,800.

Section three provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

EXISTING LAW:  Real Property Tax Law section 467 currently authorizes
local governments to provide a partial real property tax exemption to
property owners who are at least 65 years of age.

JUSTIFICATION:  Local governments have the option to provide a partial
real property tax exemption to senior citizens based upon their income.
The maximum income threshold for the 5% partial exemption, which was
enacted in 1995, has never been increased. The maximum income thresholds
for the remaining partial exemptions have not been increased since 1994.
This bill would allow local governments to increase the maximum income
thresholds so that more senior citizens could receive increased relief
from their local real property taxes.

                                BILL NUMBER:S3585A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to increasing maximum income eligibility levels for real property tax
exemptions for seniors

PURPOSE: To gradually increase the income levels for the senior citizen
partial real property tax exemption that may be enacted by local govern-
ments over a five year period.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends Real Property Tax Law section 467 to increase the
income eligibility levels for the partial real property tax exemption
that local governments may provide to property owners who are at least
65 years old.

The exemption, which ranges from 45% to 5%, uses a sliding scale based
on the property owner's income to determine the exemption amount.  For
years beginning before July 1, 2015, the maximum exemption of 45% would
be available to property owners with an income that is less than the
maximum income level for the locality plus $1,000. The minimum exemption
of 5% would be available to property owners with an income that is less
than the maximum income level for the locality plus $8,400.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2015 and before July 1, 2016,

the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,250. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income that is less than the maximum income level for the
locality plus $10,500.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2016 and before July 1, 2017,
the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,500. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income that is less than the maximum income level for the
locality plus $12,600.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2017 and before July 1, 2018,
the maximum exemption of 45% would be available to property owners with
an income that is less than the maximum income level for the locality
plus $1,750. The minimum exemption of 5% would be available to property
owners with an income that is less than the maximum income level for the
locality plus $14,700.

For years beginning on and after July 1, 2018, the maximum exemption of
450 would be available to property owners with an income that is less
than the maximum income level for the locality plus $2,000. The minimum
exemption of 5% would be available to property owners with an income
that is less than the maximum income level for the locality plus
$16,800.

Section three provides that this act shall take effect immediately.

EXISTING LAW: Real Property Tax Law section 467 currently authorizes
local governments to provide a partial real property tax exemption to
property owners who are at least 65 years of age.

JUSTIFICATION: Local governments have the option to provide a partial
real property tax exemption to senior citizens based upon their income.
The maximum income threshold for the 5% partial exemption, which was
enacted in 1994, has never been increased. The maximum income thresholds
for the remaining partial exemptions have not been increased since 1994.
This bill would allow local governments to increase the maximum income
thresholds so that more senior citizens could receive increased relief
from their local real property taxes.
