Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to exemption from rental increases and abatement of real property taxes on certain types of housing occupied by low income senior citizens
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would make it easier for seniors and persons with disabilities who have been receiving SCRIE/DRIE for many years to reapply.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill would provide that any head of household who has been issued a tax abatement certificate for five consecutive benefit periods, would be eligible to file a short form application certifying that they continue to be eligible for the tax abatement
Justification
Current law mandates that the head of a rental household must apply every two years to the appropriate rent control agency for a tax abatement certificate. This bill would lessen the filing burden on senior citizens by enabling them to continue receiving any exemption for which they are qualified without refiling the full application form every two years. Adoption of this bill would also ease the paper work and administrative burden encountered by municipalities in processing such applications.
