A 5060 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for a partial real property tax exemption for the water filtration plant for the City of Newburgh, Orange County, New York

This bill provides a partial tax exemption for the City of Newburgh's water filtration plant in Orange County, specifically covering the increased property taxes caused by the construction of a granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system. The exemption applies to taxes owed to the town of New Windsor, the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, and the Cornwall Central School District, offsetting the $250,000+ tax increase after the GAC system was built to remove PFAS contaminants from the water supply. To qualify, the city must withdraw ongoing tax court cases related to the reassessment. The exemption covers only the tax rise directly tied to the GAC system, not the plant's base value.
