BILL NUMBER:S5461
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to STAR exemption statements
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To notify recipients of the STAR
exemption statutory two percent limit on savings increases in STAR
exemption statements.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends the real property tax law to include a statement on
tax bills that will notify recipients of the STAR exemption that the
tax savings amount may be lower than the value of the certified STAR
Exemption indicates, due to the statutory two percent limit on STAR
savings increases.
Section 2 provides the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: This legislation is intended to clarify actual tax
savings and exemption under the New York state school tax relief
(STAR) program. In 2011-12, the STAR savings was capped at two percent
of the prior year's actual dollars saved. However, the STAR exemption
continues to go through its regular exemption calculation. These two
formulas, STAR savings and STAR exemption, do not get you to the same
end result.
