A00809 Memo:

 BILL NUMBER:  A809A

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the real property tax law, in
relation to adjusted base proportions in the town of Colonie

 PURPOSE :
To allow special 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 2009 assessment roll.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real Property Tax Law by adding a
new subparagraph (x-i) to subdivision 3(a) to cap the maximum class
growth rate at 1.00% in an approved assessing unit for the purposes of
the 2009 tax roll.

 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 1.00%. The change would reduce the amount
by which any class of property is allowed to grow, thereby resulting
in a property tax increase. 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 of more than 1% and the result being
a significant increase in class property tax bills. This bill proposes
to limit the rate of growth to 1.00% to ensure that property tax
liabilities are more equitably distributed between the unit's classes
of property.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

2007/2008 - S.6971 Remained in the Senate Committee on Local
Government

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the levy of
taxes on the 2009 assessment roll in an approved assessing unit.
