This bill raises Mount Vernon's deed tax rate to 1.5% on the value of real property sold or transferred within the city. It directly affects homebuyers, sellers, and property owners who complete transactions in Mount Vernon, requiring payment of the tax before deeds can be recorded. Key provisions include a $100,000 exemption on the property value (reducing the tax burden for lower-value sales) and allowing deductions for existing property liens. The tax applies to all conveyances regardless of where negotiations occur, but does not affect transactions finalized before September 1, 1984.

This bill expands the residential redevelopment inhibited property exemption to all cities, towns, and villages in the state, removing a current restriction that limited it to one specific city. It allows any municipality to adopt local laws designating properties as "redevelopment inhibited" if they are neglected, abandoned, or have conditions (like long vacancy or zoning violations) preventing private redevelopment. Property owners in designated areas can then receive an exemption from taxes on the increased value of their property after redevelopment, provided they own a one- to four-unit residence, maintain owner-occupancy, and file annual residency affidavits. The exemption covers only the incremental tax increase from redevelopment, not the base property value, and requires compliance with building and zoning codes.
This bill extends tax exemptions for mutual redevelopment companies in cities with over one million residents. It allows local governments to grant an additional 50-year tax exemption period after the initial maximum period ends, provided the company pays at least 5% of annual rent (minus utilities) for residential units or the taxes paid in 2001 - whichever is lower. The exemption applies specifically to residential portions of redevelopment projects. This change directly affects mutual redevelopment companies operating in large cities like New York City, altering their long-term tax obligations.

The key mechanism is a simple amendment to an existing law, expanding eligibility to include this specific library without changing the program's structure or requirements.
