Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to allowing a municipality to pass a local resolution to extend the taxable status exemption filing date to match such municipality's grievance date; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill allows municipalities (cities, towns, villages) to pass a local resolution extending the filing deadline for property tax exemptions for seniors aged 65 and older, specifically permitting them to align the exemption application deadline with the municipality's grievance date. A grievance date is typically the period when property owners can challenge their property tax assessments. Currently, exemption filing dates are standardized, but this bill would give local governments more flexibility to adjust deadlines to better accommodate senior residents. The legislation is temporary, set to automatically expire on January 1, 2026, which means the provision will need to be renewed or made permanent through future legislative action. By providing this localized option, the bill aims to make it easier for older homeowners to apply for property tax exemptions by giving municipalities the ability to create more convenient filing windows that match their specific local assessment review processes.
