Bill A8568 limits annual increases in property tax base proportions for Nassau and Suffolk counties. For Nassau County, local approval is required to cap annual increases at 1% per year; Suffolk County gets a 2% cap for most years but a 1% cap specifically for the 2025-2026 tax year. If calculations would exceed these limits, local governments must adjust other tax classes to ensure total base proportions equal 100%. The law applies to tax levies based on the 2025 assessment rolls in these counties.
