S 5617 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for state reimbursement for lost tax revenue due to devaluation of land as a result of toxic contamination

This bill requires the state to reimburse municipalities in Rensselaer County for lost property tax revenue when contamination from the Dewey Loeffel Landfill forces them to lower property tax assessments. Eligible municipalities can apply annually to the state comptroller for reimbursement of the difference between actual property values and reduced values due to contamination, as certified by their chief fiscal officer. The state will continue these reimbursements each year until the Dewey Loeffel Landfill is removed from the state's hazardous waste site list.
