A06658 Memo:

BILL NUMBER:A6658

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to partial tax abatements for certain property

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill amends subdivision 2 of section 467-a of the
Real Property Tax Law to provide that a tax abatement may be granted
to a dwelling unit in a property held in a cooperative or condominium
form of ownership where the unit in question is held in trust solely
for the benefit of a person or persons who would otherwise be eligible
to receive a tax abatement, were such person or persons the legal
owner of the unit.

Section two of the bill amends paragraph (f) of subdivision 2 of
section 467-a of the Real Property Tax Law to provide that a property
will not be prohibited from receiving an abatement pursuant to section
467-a if the property, or certain dwelling units therein, are
receiving benefits pursuant to sections 425 (School Tax Relief
exemption (STAR)) or 459-c (persons with disabilities and limited
incomes exemption) of the Real Property Tax Law.

REASONS FOR SUPPORT:

Currently, a dwelling unit will lose its eligibility for a tax
abatement pursuant to section 467-a if the owner transfers the
property into a trust. This bill would make it clear that the
abatements provided in section 467-a of the Real Property Tax Law
extend to a property held in trust solely for the benefit of a person
who would otherwise meet the eligibility requirements set forth in
section 467-a, were such person the legal owner of the unit.

This bill would also make it clear that receipt of benefits under Real
Property Tax Law section 425 or 459-c would not make one ineligible
for benefits under the co-op/condo real property tax abatement
program.

Accordingly, the Mayor urges the earliest possible favorable
consideration of this proposal by the Legislature.
