What A 3663 does, verified January 8, 2026

The bill aims to amend the General Municipal Law to increase the limit on real property tax levies by local governments. Currently, a tax levy can exceed five percent of the total tax levied in the prior fiscal year only if it is necessary for court orders or judgments. The proposed amendment would allow for tax levies exceeding five percent for various purposes, including infrastructure improvements, road maintenance, snow removal, capital projects, and expenses related to public health emergencies and pandemics.
