S 3213: Relates to assessments of residential cooperative, condominium and rental property; defines the term "the assessment which would be placed upon such parcel were the parcel not owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis".
The proposed law aims to modify the assessment of residential cooperative, condominium, and rental property in New York State. Currently, the assessment of such properties is based on the income generated from renting the property, which may not accurately reflect the property's value. The new law will exempt properties owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis from being assessed based on rental income. Instead, the assessment will be based on the property's comparable value to properties owned or leased by a cooperative corporation or on a condominium basis. This change will take effect 180 days after the law is passed and will apply to assessment rolls prepared on or after January 1st of the following year.
