S 3245: Relates to payments in lieu of taxes

This bill (S 3245) updates how New York local governments and school districts calculate payments in lieu of taxes (PILT) for tax-exempt properties. It requires the Commissioner of Taxation to compute an annual "quantity change factor" showing percentage shifts in taxable property values between specific assessment rolls. This factor must include changes in value for properties under PILT agreements, ensuring these adjustments directly impact local tax revenue calculations.

A 8401: Subjects certain state lands to real property taxation

Bill A 8401 proposes to subject certain state-owned lands to real property taxation specifically within Orange County. Currently, state lands acquired for reforestation purposes are exempt from county property taxes across the state. This bill would amend the real property tax law to remove that specific exemption for such lands located within Orange County. If enacted, it would allow Orange County to collect property taxes on these state reforestation lands for all purposes, including county purposes.
