BILL NUMBER:S4802 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to a green roof tax abatement for certain properties in a city of one million or more persons SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill extends and modifies the real property tax abatement currently provided by the city of New York (the "City") for the installation of green roofs within the City. Section 1 of the bill amends the definition of the term "green roof' to allow for the inclusion of a controlled flow roof drain, and to add native and agricultural plant species to the list of "live plants" that can be used to meet the requirement that 80% of the vegetation layer of a green roof must be covered by live plants. Section 2 of the bill provides that beginning with tax years (i.e., City fiscal years) commencing on or after July 1, 2014 and ending on or before June 30, 2019, the tax abatement shall be $5.23 per square foot of a green roof (an increase from $4.50 per square foot of a green roof), provided that the amount of the abatement does not exceed the lesser of $200,000 (an increase from $100,000) or the tax liability of the eligible building in the tax year in which the abatement is taken. This section also establishes an overall cap on the amount that would be spent in any one year on the abatement program ($750,000 in City fiscal year 2015 and $1,000,000 in City
