A04651 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4651
 
SPONSOR: Gray
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to allowing for the taxation of state property   PURPOSE: To allow state-owned property in the City Of Ogdensburg, except the lands owned and operated on by the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, to be subject lbcal real property taxation on state lands. State land in certain Places within New York state is subject to property taxation, however, although the state of New York owns 30% of the land in Ogdens- burg, and much of it is unused, the city is not able to collect taxes on 'any of this land.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends the real property tax law to add a new subdivision (m) to section 532. Section 2 provides the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: The State of New York currently owns approximately 30% of the land in the city of Ogdensburg, - much of it abandoned and unused. Unfortunate- ly, the city of Ogdensburg is not afforded the right to collect property taxes on any of this state owned land. This is patently unjust and deprives the city of Ogdensburg of much needed financial resources. This bill will remedy the existing deficiency within the current statutory framework by allowing the city of Ogdensburg to collect property taxes from the state on lands. New York state pays property taxes on state owned land in many areas throughout the State. Other municipalities in the state, like Albany, receive substantial payments from the State in lieu of taxes (PILOTS). It is time for the state to treat the city of Ogdensburg fairly and do the same for the city.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2023 - referred to real property taxation 2024 - referred to real property taxation   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Undetermined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
