Includes all lands in Ulster county as being subject to taxation
This bill changes property tax rules for lands in Ulster County managed by the Palisades Interstate Park. It adds Ulster County to a list of areas where park lands acquired for public use (but excluding state improvements) must now be subject to all property taxes. Previously, Ulster County lands were excluded from this requirement, while Rockland, Sullivan, and Orange counties were included. The change applies directly to tax assessments on these specific park lands within Ulster County. The bill amends a section of the real property tax law to reflect this update.
