BILL NUMBER:S1991
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to granting a tax exemption to certain land owned by a conservation club or a rod and gun club
Purpose
The purpose of this bill is to provide a tax exemption to small conservation clubs and rod and gun clubs.
Summary of provisions
The Real Property Tax Law is amended by adding a new section 471 to provide a real property tax exemption not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars to any conservation club or rod and gun club established prior to January 1, 2011, that has an assessed value of five hundred thousand dollars or less, regardless of the number of members.
Justification
Throughout the State, small conservation and rod and gun clubs are finding it increasingly difficult to continue in their operations as they are burdened with steadily rising property taxes. These clubs provide a valuable recreational service to their communities by encouraging safety in a variety of sporting and hunting activities. Small clubs are struggling to pay their property taxes and therefore struggling to remain viable, active organizations. Club membership fees and fundraisers are no longer a means of providing clubs with sufficient funding to carry out daily operations and pay their property taxes. In order to keep these clubs in their local communities, it is important to assist them with a partial tax exemption on town, county, and school property taxes.
