This bill limits how much the tax base proportion for any property class can change annually in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2026-2027. It caps annual increases at 1% above the previous year's adjusted proportion, but only if the town passes a local law approving this rule. If a change would exceed 1%, the town must adjust property class proportions to keep the total tax base at 100%. The bill directly affects Haverstraw property owners and the town's legislative body, which must formally adopt the rule before it applies.
This bill changes how interest is calculated on unclaimed child and spousal support payments held as abandoned property. Property owners will no longer receive interest on these payments once they're paid to the state comptroller, except for specific types of abandoned property held by the state for the first five years. For those limited cases, interest will accrue at the overpayment rate (as set by tax law) minus one percentage point. The bill directly affects owners of abandoned properties where child or spousal support payments were unclaimed, altering their financial entitlements under state law.

This bill authorizes the village of Johnson City to create and collect a new tax on hotel and motel room rentals. Under the proposed law, the tax rate would be capped at three percent of the per diem rental rate and could be collected by the village's fiscal officer or passed directly to room owners for collection. The revenue generated from this tax would be deposited into the village's general fund for any lawful purpose. The legislation includes specific exemptions for government entities, certain non-profit organizations, and permanent residents who stay for at least thirty consecutive days. Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for filing tax returns, appealing tax assessments, and limits the duration of any enacted tax to a maximum of two years.
This bill extends the authority for the city of Syracuse to collect a hotel and motel tax until December 31, 2029. The legislation amends an existing law from 2024 to update the expiration date, ensuring the tax remains in effect for three additional years. It applies to all hotel and motel contracts entered into on or after the date the law takes effect. By changing the deadline, the bill allows Syracuse to continue using this revenue source for local purposes without needing immediate legislative renewal.
This bill updates New York City's personal income tax rates and expands the city's authority to set its own tax rules for residents. It allows the city to impose a sales tax on specific credit-related services, such as those provided by credit bureaus, while excluding services performed by licensed attorneys. Additionally, the bill establishes new tax brackets for individual filers, including married couples, heads of households, and unmarried individuals, effective for tax years beginning after 2029. The legislation also authorizes cities with over one million residents to adopt separate taxes on lump-sum income distributions and provides a framework for an additional surcharge on city taxable income.
This bill allows the city of Albany to add unpaid housing, building, and fire code violation penalties, costs, and fines to its annual property tax levy. It applies only to properties where violations have been legally adjudicated, remain unpaid for one year, and total at least 5% of the property's tax value. The city must notify owners, offer redemption options before foreclosure, and provide tenant assistance programs for renters in affected properties. Crucially, it excludes owner-occupied primary residences and requires the city to develop tenant relocation support before tax foreclosure. The policy changes how Albany collects unpaid housing code debts, treating them like property taxes for collection purposes.
