BILL NUMBER:A9795B
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to adjusted base proportions for the city of Long Beach in the county of Nassau
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 2010 assessment roll.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends Section 1903 of the Real Prop- erty Tax Law by adding a new subparagraph (viii) to subdivision 3(a) to cap the maximum class growth rate at 0.00% in an approved assessing unit for the purposes of the 2010 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 0.00%. 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 and the result being a significant increase in class property tax bills. This bill proposes to limit the rate of growth to 0.00% to ensure that property tax liabil- ities are more equitably distributed between the unit's classes of prop- erty.
This measure only addresses the adjusted base proportions for the City of Long Beach in Nassau County.
