BILL NUMBER:S7666A
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to conservation easement agreement exemptions for certain towns
Purpose
To ensure that the Town of Orchard Park is able to offers its conservation easement assessment program.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 changes the population figures for this section to ensure that the of Orchard Park is covered.
Section 2 is the effective date.
Justification
Section 491 of the Real Property Tax Law allowed a Town between 27,600 and 27,700 located within a County of 950,00 and 951,000 on the last Census to offer a conservation easement assessment program. At the time of that Census, the Town of Orchard Park qualified as such an entity. Meanwhile Erie County at the 2010 Census had a population of between 919,000 and 920,000 Changing the population ensures that the Town can offer this easement assessment program now and removes the need to change it in the future as well.
