S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1838 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 13, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. GUNTHER, CROUCH, GIGLIO -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. HAWLEY, LOPEZ, MAGEE -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Real Property Taxation AN ACT to prohibit local assessors from increasing the assessed value of real property based on the stumpage value of the trees thereon and to establish the forestland taxation task force THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that in light of significant increases in real property taxes in many parts of the state, due to a variety of factors including but not limited to increases in market value of real property, growth in school and local spending, a declining commercial and industrial tax base, and assessment valuation practices which may not accurately reflect the actual value of timber, that now more than ever an increas- ing proportion of lands in the state devoted to the growth of forest crops are assessed at a level which renders the continued dedication to such use uneconomical. It is the purpose of this act to chart a path by which present and future forestlands may be protected and enhanced as a viable segment of the state's economy, and as an environmental resource. S 2. On and after January 1, 2016, no assessor of any local assessing unit shall increase that portion of the assessment of real property which pertains to the stumpage value of trees on any parcel of privately owned real property to which a stumpage value is assigned on the effec- tive date of this act, as determined from the assessment from the imme- diately preceding assessment roll. S 3. Commencing with the 2016 assessment roll, an assessor of any local assessing unit shall assign a value for trees upon any parcel of real property which does not bear a stumpage value immediately prior to the effective date of this act. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD01562-01-5
