Includes all lands in Ulster county as being subject to taxation
This bill amends New York's real property tax law to require all Palisades Interstate Park state lands in Ulster County to be taxed for all purposes, expanding the existing requirement that already applied to lands in Rockland and Sullivan counties. It specifically affects landowners and local governments in Ulster County (including towns like Gardiner, Rochester, Shawangunk, and Wawarsing) and the listed towns in Orange County. The key change adds Ulster County to the list of areas where these park lands must be subject to property taxation, removing their previous exemption. This is a direct policy change to the tax treatment of these specific lands, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
