This bill creates a new property tax exemption for the primary residence of veterans with a 100% service-connected disability. It applies to veterans who were honorably discharged, have a 100% disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and meet specific criteria like permanent total disability or receipt of VA benefits. The exemption fully removes property taxes and special assessments for qualifying veterans' primary homes, in addition to existing tax benefits. The law takes effect for tax assessments dated October 1, 2026, and does not reduce a property's taxable value below zero.
Expands the real property tax exemption for persons with disabilities to property owners who are a parent or parents of an individual with a disability and such individual lives at such property.
This bill (A 9306) requires New York's Board of Regents to obtain legislative approval before adopting any rule or regulation that imposes an unfunded mandate on school districts. An unfunded mandate is defined as a rule requiring schools to provide new programs, higher service levels, or changes that create net additional costs without state funding - such as increased expenses or potential property tax impacts. The key mechanism mandates that such rules cannot take effect without a majority vote in the state legislature. This directly affects school districts by preventing new financial burdens from being imposed without elected official review. The bill is procedural, focusing on the approval process rather than creating new educational policies.
Relates to real property subject to an authorization for a real property tax exemption in the town of Smithtown, county of Suffolk, with respect to the 2019 and 2020 assessment rolls.
This bill (S 6015) shortens the waiting period for foreclosure on vacant, abandoned properties in Erie County from two years to one year. It specifically applies to properties certified as vacant and abandoned under New York's Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL §1309) or Real Property Tax Law (RPTL §1111). Tax certificate holders, including Erie County, can now initiate foreclosure proceedings after one year (instead of two) for unpaid taxes on these certified properties. The change modifies Erie County's tax code to accelerate the process for clearing delinquent tax properties. This affects property owners with unpaid taxes on certified vacant properties and tax certificate holders seeking resolution.
This bill requires New York City's department to repair curbs and curb cuts within 90 days of a homeowner's request submitted via 311 or the city website. It directly affects owners of one-, two-, or three-family homes who can request repairs. If the city misses the 90-day deadline, homeowners may hire a licensed contractor and receive a property tax credit covering the reasonable repair costs. The law sets clear timelines and financial recourse for residents, updating existing curb repair responsibilities.

This bill updates New York's definition of "period of war" in the real property tax law to expand eligibility for the alternative veterans' exemption. It adds specific recent military conflicts to the existing list, including the Global War on Terrorism (September 11, 2001, through end of hostilities), and NATO combat operations in Somalia (1992-1994), Bosnia (1995-2004), and Kosovo (1999-1999). Veterans who served during these newly included periods will now qualify for the tax exemption. The change directly affects veterans whose service falls within these defined modern conflicts, ensuring they meet the eligibility criteria under current law.
