Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the residency requirement for assessor in local government

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York Real Property Tax Law to expand the residency requirements for local government assessors. Currently, assessors must be residents of New York state, but the proposed legislation would allow local governments the option to appoint assessors who are residents of states directly adjacent to New York. An assessor is a government official responsible for determining the value of real property for tax purposes. The bill permits the legislative body of a local government to choose whether to hire an assessor from New York or from a neighboring state, such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, or Vermont. This change provides local governments with greater flexibility in hiring assessors, potentially allowing them to select candidates with the most appropriate skills and experience, regardless of their state of residence. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage.
