S 1902 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to exempting homeowners from tax increases for certain renewable energy systems

This bill exempts homeowners from property tax increases on qualifying renewable energy systems installed within specific timeframes. It covers solar, wind, or farm waste systems installed before 1988 or between 1991-2030, plus newer systems like micro-hydro, fuel cells, or electric storage installed between 2018-2030. Systems must not exceed 20 kilowatts of generation capacity or 30 kilowatt-hours of storage capacity. The exemption applies only to systems meeting these criteria and installation dates. Homeowners with qualifying systems installed during these periods will avoid tax hikes tied to their renewable energy equipment.
