BILL NUMBER: S1662

SPONSOR: SKOUFIS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the duration
of the exemption for property of mandatory class nonprofit organizations
by reason of the absence of suitable buildings or improvements thereon
if construction of such buildings or improvements is in progress or is
in good faith contemplated

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To establish stricter standards for non-profit organizations that
purchase land and file an application for municipal real property
exemption. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that properties exempt
from real property taxes are being used in a manner that supports the
specific exemption granted.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends Real Property Law section 420-a (3) to permit a non-
profit organizations that purchase real property that is on the tax
rolls to obtain a real property exemption if such organization within 7
years after such property is acquired constructs buildings or other
capital improvements or is in good faith contemplating such construction
to further its charitable purposes.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Under current law, if a non-profit organization purchases property that
is on the tax rolls, such organization can obtain an exemption from real
property taxes if the construction of buildings or other improvements
are in progress or are in "good faith" contemplated.  This bill tightens
qualifications for obtaining tax exempt status by requiring that build-
ings or improvements must be constructed to further the organization's
charitable purpose within 7 years of purchasing such property.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Under current law, non-profit charitable organizations can purchase land
as an investment vehicle and then obtain the real property's tax exempt
status (to the detriment of the local taxing authority) without realis-
tically contemplating the satisfaction of the requirement that the prop-
erty is used in the furtherance of the organizations' charitable
mission. This bill amends the law so that only properties that are truly
acquired to further an organization's charitable purpose are granted tax
exempt status. If 7 years after the acquisition of the parcel, the char-
itable organization has not commenced activities to further the charita-
ble purpose, then such land will be placed back on the tax rolls.

LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
