S 6251 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Subjects certain state lands to real property taxation

This bill changes the tax status of certain state-owned lands used for reforestation in New York. It requires these lands to be taxed under real property tax law in all counties except Orange County, where the tax exemption remains. Previously, all such lands were exempt from county-level taxes; this bill removes that exemption for every county except Orange. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
