S 6459 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides a rent increase exemption to persons with disabilities

This bill modifies New York's real property tax law to provide tax abatements (reductions in property tax bills) for households where the head of household has a disability. It sets specific income limits: households with disability-related benefits like SSI or SSDI must have combined income under $29,000, while others face a $50,000 threshold, all based on federal disability benefit guidelines. Municipalities can maintain existing local tax abatement rules without new public hearings. The policy directly affects low-to-moderate-income disabled residents and their households seeking property tax relief.
