                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7544

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the real property tax law, in
relation to the base proportion in approved assessing units in Nassau
county

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

To allow approved assessing units under Article 19 of the Real
Property Tax Law to adjust and limit the current base proportions to
be determined by taxes based on such unit's 2016 assessment roll.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real Property Tax Law by adding a
new subparagraph (xvii) to subdivision 3 to cap the maximum class
growth rate at 1% in an approved assessing unit for the purposes of
the 2016 tax roll, provided that the such aforementioned assessing
unit has passed a local law, ordinance or resolution providing
therefore.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Currently, state law provides that the current base proportions of any
class in an approved assessing unit may not exceed the adjusted base
proportion for that class from the prior year by more than 5%. This

legislation would adjust that rule, for one year only, to cap the
maximum cap growth rate at 1%. The change would reduce the amount by
which any class of property is allowed to grow. This legislation
reduces the burden to a class of properties, a burden which would
otherwise cause taxpayers in that class to see a rate increase and the
result being a significant increase in class property tax bills.  This
bill proposes to limit the rate of growth to 1% to ensure that
property tax liabilities are more equitably distributed between the
unit's classes of property.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :

AN ACT to amend the real property tax  law,  in  relation  to  the  base
  proportion in approved assessing units in Nassau county

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 1903 of the  real
property  tax law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (xvii) to read
as follows:
  (XVII) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION  OF  LAW,  IN  AN  APPROVED
ASSESSING  UNIT IN THE COUNTY OF NASSAU AND FOR CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS
TO BE DETERMINED BY TAXES BASED ON SUCH APPROVED  ASSESSING  UNIT'S  TWO
THOUSAND  SIXTEEN  ROLL,  THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF ANY CLASS SHALL
NOT EXCEED THE ADJUSTED BASE PROPORTION OR ADJUSTED PROPORTION, WHICHEV-
ER IS APPROPRIATE, OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING YEAR, BY MORE  THAN  ONE
PERCENT,  PROVIDED  THAT SUCH APPROVED ASSESSING UNIT HAS PASSED A LOCAL
LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION PROVIDING THEREFOR. WHERE  THE  COMPUTATION
OF  CURRENT  BASE  PROPORTIONS  WOULD OTHERWISE PRODUCE SUCH RESULT, THE
CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF SUCH CLASS OR CLASSES  SHALL  BE  LIMITED  TO
SUCH  ONE  PERCENT  INCREASE  AND  THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF SUCH APPROVED
ASSESSING UNIT SHALL ALTER THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF  EITHER  CLASS
SO THAT THE SUM OF THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS EQUALS ONE.
  S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the
levy of taxes based on the 2016 assessment roll  in  approved  assessing
units in the county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resol-
ution to adopt these provisions.
