This bill allows Godschild Outreach Ministries, a non-profit organization in Wyandanch, to receive a retroactive exemption from real property taxes for the 2023-2024 through 2025-2026 tax years. Under the legislation, the town assessor would review the organization's application as if it had been submitted on time, granting tax relief on specific parcels of land if the group qualifies under existing laws. If the exemption is approved, the town may refund any taxes, fines, or penalties previously paid and remove any outstanding tax liens associated with the property. The measure applies only to this specific organization and does not change the general rules for property tax exemptions in the town of Babylon.
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 creates a real property tax exemption for the primary residences of surviving spouses of firefighters who died in the line of duty. It allows local governments and school districts to automatically exempt up to 50% of the assessed value of these homes from taxation, though they retain the option to reduce this percentage if they choose. The law defines eligible firefighters broadly to include paid members of various fire departments and extends the benefit to properties held in trust or by cooperative apartment corporations, while excluding certain types of housing. Additionally, the bill requires the state to develop and publish a list of documents that prove eligibility for this tax relief.
Establishes a real property tax exemption of up to fifty percent of the assessed valuation of such real property for surviving spouses of state and county correction officers who died in the line of duty and such property constitutes the primary resident of such surviving spouse.
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.

This bill allows the nonprofit organization Hachaim Veshalom to apply for a retroactive real property tax exemption for its building at 125 Cedarhurst Avenue in Cedarhurst. If approved by the Nassau County Legislature, the county assessor would treat the application as if it were filed on time, potentially correcting the tax rolls for the 2023 tax year. Should the exemption be granted, the organization could receive a refund of any taxes already paid and have related fines or penalties canceled.
This bill creates the "New York State Good Guardianship Act," establishing a statewide initiative to expand access to not-for-profit guardianship services for New Yorkers over 18 who are legally determined to need a guardian due to incapacity under Mental Hygiene Law Article 81. It allocates state funding through a new dedicated fund to support qualified non-profit organizations that provide free or low-cost guardianship services - including financial management, healthcare coordination, and daily living assistance - replacing unscrupulous for-profit providers. The initiative will operate a public helpline for guidance, require data collection on service outcomes, and aim to reduce Medicaid costs by preventing avoidable hospitalizations and shelter stays. Participating organizations must be tax-exempt and experienced, with the program administered by a state-selected lead agency and subject to annual performance reporting.
