Bill > A09278

This bill amends the real property tax law to include all lands in Ulster County as being subject to taxation. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing section of law that previously exempted certain lands from taxation, removing language that specifically excluded lands in the towns of Gardiner, Rochester, Shawangunk, and Wawarsing in Ulster County. By adding Ulster County to the list of counties with taxable lands, the bill ensures that previously exempt lands in Ulster County will now be subject to property taxation. The change means that lands acquired for public use by the Palisades Interstate Park commissioners in Ulster County will no longer have a blanket tax exemption, potentially increasing local tax revenue. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, allowing for prompt implementation of the new taxation provisions.
