Section 1905. State board adjustments for assessment rolls completed prior to nineteen hundred ninety  


Latest version.
  • 1. Certification.  (a) Not later  than  the
      sixth  assessment roll following the first assessment roll for which the
      same homestead base proportions and non-homestead base  proportions  are
      effective  in any approved assessing unit or eligible non-assessing unit
      village and not less than once in  every  three  subsequent  years,  the
      state  board  shall  certify  to  the  chief  executive  officer of such
      approved assessing unit or eligible non-assessing unit  village  and  to
      the  appropriate  fiscal  officer  of each county and school district in
      which such approved assessing unit is included, adjusted homestead  base
      proportions and adjusted non-homestead base proportions. The state board
      shall  also  certify  to the executive officer of such assessing unit or
      eligible non-assessing unit village the current  percentages  determined
      pursuant  to  subdivision  three of this section and used in calculating
      such proportions. Such certifications shall be made no later than thirty
      days prior to the last date provided by law for the  levy  of  taxes  in
      each  such approved assessing unit, eligible non-assessing unit village,
      county or school district.
        (b) If it is made to appear to the state board by a statement  of  the
      assessors of an approved assessing unit, subscribed and affirmed by them
      as  true under the penalties of perjury, that there has been a change in
      excess of ten percent in  the  percentage  that  the  estimated  taxable
      market  value  of the homestead class constitutes of the total estimated
      taxable market value of all real property  in  such  assessing  unit  or
      eligible  non-assessing  unit  village  or  in any portion thereof since
      certification  of  the  most  recent  homestead  base  proportions   and
      non-homestead  base  proportions  or adjusted homestead base proportions
      and adjusted non-homestead  base  proportions,  the  state  board  shall
      certify  adjusted  homestead base proportions and adjusted non-homestead
      base proportions  and  current  percentages  for  such  assessing  unit,
      eligible  non-assessing  unit  village, or portion thereof in accordance
      with the provisions of this section.
        (c) In the case of an approved assessing unit which  has  completed  a
      revaluation prior to the effective date of this section, the state board
      shall   certify   adjusted   homestead  base  proportions  and  adjusted
      non-homestead base proportions and current  percentages  for  the  first
      roll  to  which the provisions of section nineteen hundred three of this
      article shall apply.
        2.   Base percentage. The state board  shall  compute  for  each  such
      approved  assessing  unit or eligible non-assessing unit village and for
      each portion thereof the percentage that the  estimated  taxable  market
      value  of each of the homestead class and non-homestead class constitute
      of the total estimated taxable market value of all real  property.  Such
      base  percentage  shall  be  computed  on  the  basis  of  the  assessed
      valuations on the first assessment roll containing  the  revaluation  or
      update  which  is  the basis for the certification or recertification of
      such assessing unit as an approved assessing unit, except that:
        (a)  in  the  case  of  approved  assessing  units   which   completed
      revaluation  programs  prior to the effective date of this section, such
      base percentage shall be computed on the basis of the  first  assessment
      roll which incorporated such revaluation;
        (b)  in  the  case  of eligible non-assessing unit villages, such base
      percentage shall be computed from the assessments on the village portion
      of the first town assessment roll containing revaluation assessments and
      used for the levy of village taxes;  and
        (c) in the case of recertified approved assessing  units  which  adopt
      local laws pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision
      two  of  section  nineteen  hundred  three  of  this  article, such base
    
      percentage shall be computed from the assessed valuations on  the  first
      assessment   roll   containing   the  update  which  is  the  basis  for
      recertification as an approved assessing unit.
        3.    Current  percentage.  (a)  In each year in which the state board
      completes a market value survey which uses a base year  assessment  roll
      later  than  that  used  in  subdivision  two  of this section, it shall
      compute for such base year assessment roll percentages as prescribed  in
      subdivision two of this section.
        (b)  In  the  case of an approved assessing unit which has completed a
      revaluation program prior to the effective date of this section, for the
      purpose of paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision  one  of  this  section  such
      percentages shall be computed on the basis of the assessed valuations on
      the  assessment  roll  which  is  the basis of the certification of such
      approved assessing unit.
        4. Additional market value surveys. In the event that no market  value
      survey  as may be required to comply with the provisions of this section
      is otherwise available, the state board shall revise an existing  survey
      or complete an additional survey in conformance with the requirements of
      this section.
        5.    Computation  of adjusted homestead base proportions and adjusted
      non-homestead base proportions. In each year in which it is required  to
      compute  a  current  percentage  pursuant to subdivision one or three of
      this section, such state board shall compute the adjusted homestead base
      proportion and adjusted non-homestead base proportion as follows:
        (a) Divide the current percentage of each of the two classes which are
      described in subdivision two of this section by the base  percentage  of
      each such class.
        (b)  For  each  such  class, multiply the result from paragraph (a) of
      this subdivision  by  the  proportion  established  in  accordance  with
      subdivision  two of section nineteen hundred three of this article.  (c)
      Sum the products obtained in  paragraph  (b)  of  this  subdivision  and
      divide  the  product for each such class by such sum. The result for the
      homestead class is the adjusted homestead base proportion and the result
      for  the  non-homestead  class  is  the  adjusted   non-homestead   base
      proportion.
        6.  The  provisions  of  this  section shall apply to assessment rolls
      completed prior to nineteen hundred ninety.
