Limiting the shift between classes of taxable property in the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland
This bill limits annual changes to property tax class assessments in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2025-2026. It prevents any single property class from having its tax base proportion increase by more than 1% from the previous year's adjusted rate, unless the town first passes a local law approving the change. The law applies only to Haverstraw's approved assessing unit and requires the town's legislative body to adjust class proportions if the 1% limit is triggered. This directly affects property owners in Haverstraw whose tax classifications might otherwise shift significantly year-to-year.
