What S 2007 does, verified January 8, 2026

The proposed legislation aims to amend the Real Property Tax Law in New York State. It seeks to modify the definition of a municipality, which is currently tied to the federal decennial census. The bill redefines a municipality to include towns, cities, villages, and other taxing entities in counties with populations ranging from 65,300 to 99,900. This change would expand the eligibility for the residential-commercial exemption program. The amendments would take effect immediately, but the repeal of the original section would be deemed repealed with the new amendments.
