BILL NUMBER: S7283

SPONSOR: SKOUFIS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to state aid for
certain towns adversely affected by a concentration of tax exempt prop-
erty

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The bill would create a new category of state aid to certain cities,
towns, villages, or fire districts based on the amount of tax exempt
property in the jurisdiction. To be eligible, certain cities, towns,
villages, or fire districts must have at least thirty-five percent of
their real property exempt from taxation. Funds would be allocated by
formula, with fifty percent distributed on the basis of population and
the other fifty percent allocated by the amount of tax exempt property.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Amends the Real Property Tax Law by adding a new Section.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The concentration of governmental, institutional and other non-profit
uses deprives the town governments of a major portion of their potential
property tax revenue, while increasing the burden on town services.
