Bill > A04704

This bill provides a $100,000 real property tax exemption for conservation clubs and rod and gun clubs under specific conditions. To qualify, the club must own land that was acquired before January 1, 2025, and have an assessed property value of $500,000 or less. The tax exemption can only be granted if the club submits an application to the local assessor (in a county, city, town, or village) on an approved form by the taxable status date. Importantly, the exemption applies to clubs regardless of their membership size, meaning both small and large organizations can benefit from this tax relief. The bill aims to support conservation and sporting clubs by reducing their property tax burden, potentially helping these organizations maintain their land and continue their community activities. The tax exemption will take effect immediately and apply to properties with a taxable status date on or after the bill's enactment.
