2015-S618 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S618          REVISED MEMO 01/21/2015

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the real property tax law and the
real property law, in relation to the taxation of property owned by a
cooperative corporation

 PURPOSE :

To allow a municipal corporation to pass a local law or resolution
that would make the provisions of paragraph (a) of subdivision 581 of
the real property tax law not apply to real property, owned or leased
by a cooperative corporation on a condominium basis, that is converted
or constructed on and after January 1, 2017.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 adds paragraph (d) to section 581 of the real property tax
law, allowing municipal corporations to remove the limitations in that
section on assessments on condominiums and cooperatives converted or
constructed on and after January 1, 2017 in all municipal
corporations, except New York City and Nassau County.

Section 2 adds paragraph (g) to section 339-y of the real property law
allowing municipal corporations to remove the limitations in that
section on assessments on condominiums and cooperative converted or
constructed on and after January 1, 2017 in any municipal corporations

except New York City and Nassau County.

Section 3 Contains effective date

 EXISTING LAW :

 JUSTIFICATION :

As currently written, the real property tax law and real property law
does not allow the sum of the assessments of individual cooperative or
condominium units to exceed the value of the entire complex if it was
valued as a single entity. The restriction tends to reduce condominium
and cooperative assessments by preventing the use of sales of units in
the assessment process. The Office of Real Property Services,
assessors and other local officials generally consider the
restrictions an unreasonable state mandate which unfairly limits the
revenue-raising abilities of local governments. Assessors and
appraisers also Cite the difficulties they encounter when they are
forced to ignore market information--usually the best indicator of
value--in developing estimates of taxable value. This bill would allow
municipal corporations to value newly constructed and converted
cooperative and condominium units as they would other real property to
alleviate any negative impacts placed on the locality by the current
statute.
