BILL NUMBER:S638

Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to assessment exemptions for living quarters for a parent or grandparent

Summary of provisions

Amends subdivisions one and three of section 469 of the real property tax law, and adds a new subdivision 5-a, to add seniors and the disabled as eligible for the property tax exemptions provided under this section for prohibiting an assessment increase for housing a parent or grandparent.

Justification

This legislation allows owners of residential property which is their principle place of residence to make changes in order to rent or house a senior or a disabled person without experiencing an increase in assessment. Allowing seniors and persons with disabilities to reside with family saves significant amounts of money that would be passed on to taxpayers if these individuals had to move into State subsidized facilities.
