Increases the distribution of revenue from extending the authorization for the hotel and motel taxes in Suffolk county; provides for the support of a not-for-profit organization that manages and owns the first lighthouse built in New York, a national register of historic places site in Suffolk county that has been named a national historic landmark and is a New York state historic site.
This bill limits annual changes to property tax class rates in Haverstraw, New York, for 2026-2027. It prohibits any single property tax class from increasing its tax base proportion by more than 1% compared to the previous year's adjusted rate. The town must first pass a local law approving this limit, and if calculations would exceed the 1% threshold, the town's governing body must adjust class proportions to maintain a total of 100%. This directly affects Haverstraw property owners whose tax classifications might otherwise shift significantly year-to-year.
Gives state income tax credit to volunteer firefighters and members of a volunteer ambulance corps in good standing up to $2500; must be in good standing for a minimum of five years and maintain continued eligibility.
This bill (S 8938) amends New York State law to include Sullivan County within the definition of a "designated community" for community preservation funds. It updates two sections of state law (General Municipal Law §6-s and Tax Law §1560) to explicitly list Sullivan County alongside Putnam, Ulster, and Westchester as qualifying counties. This change directly affects Sullivan County municipalities, allowing them to access community preservation funds previously available only to the other three Hudson Valley counties. The bill makes a technical definitional update with no new funding mechanisms or eligibility criteria beyond expanding the geographic scope.
Extends the effectiveness of the authority of the town of Red Hook to impose real estate transfer taxes and to deposit revenue from such taxes into a community preservation fund.
This bill grants Cortland County the exclusive authority to collect an additional one percent sales tax without it being overridden by state preemption laws. The legislation amends the state tax code to ensure this specific local tax rate is calculated separately from the maximum allowable tax rate set by the state. By explicitly stating that the tax is not subject to preemption, the measure protects Cortland's ability to raise revenue independently from other local governments. This change directly affects businesses and consumers in Cortland County by allowing the county to maintain its own tax rate even if the state adjusts broader tax policies.
Permits local governments to extend the existing clergy residential property tax exemption to include clergy residing in co-ops; clarifies that the clergy property tax exemption shall not affect eligibility for certain other tax abatements.
Bill A 8013 authorizes the Nassau County assessor to accept a late application for a real property tax exemption from Winners Chapel International New York. This applies to their property at 306 Fulton Ave. for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tax assessment rolls. If the application is accepted and approved by the assessor and the Nassau County legislature, the organization could receive the exemption as if they had applied on time. The bill also permits the refund of any taxes already paid and the cancellation of outstanding taxes, fines, or penalties for those years.
