BILL NUMBER:S7097
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to expanding the definition of "clerical error"
Purpose of the bill
The purpose of the bill is to allow a correction of errors form to include an instance where an assessor has failed to utilize the 581-a assessment method.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill will amend subdivision 2 of section 550 of the real property tax law by adding an additional paragraph that will expand the definition of "clerical error".
Section 2 relates to the effective date.
Justification
This bill will allow an assessor that failed to use the 581-a assessment method to make a correction through the correction of errors law. In 2005, the State Legislature added section 581-a to the real property tax law that allowed for a separate assessment method for property that contains a certain percentage of low income housing. The correction of errors law was never updated to include the instance where an assessor failed to correctly utilize the 581-a assessment method.
