S 10634: Permits the city of Yonkers to establish a surcharge for vacant and abandoned property

This bill authorizes the city of Yonkers to impose a special tax surcharge on vacant and abandoned properties. The surcharge can be set at up to two times the standard property tax, meaning the total tax owed on such properties could reach three times the normal rate. To be subject to this fee, a property must be officially designated as vacant or abandoned based on criteria like lack of occupancy, court orders, or owner statements, while excluding homes under active renovation or occupied by family members. The city's finance department will handle the designation process, providing owners with notice and an opportunity to appeal the decision before the tax is applied.

A 11554: Permits the city of Yonkers to establish a surcharge for vacant and abandoned property

This bill authorizes the city of Yonkers to impose an additional tax surcharge on vacant and abandoned properties, allowing the total tax burden to reach up to three times the standard rate. The legislation defines vacant and abandoned land through specific criteria, such as confirmed lack of occupancy or court orders, while explicitly excluding properties under active renovation, seasonal use, or legal disputes. To ensure fairness, the city must notify property owners before designating their land as vacant, offering them a chance to contest the decision and appeal the final ruling. The new tax applies to fiscal years starting on or after July 1, 2027, and holds owners personally liable for any unpaid amounts if they fail to comply with the rules.

S 10638: Enacts the washing our clothes without polluting our water act

This bill requires washing machine manufacturers and importers to submit a compliance plan to the state department detailing how they will equip sold machines with microfiber filtration systems to reduce water pollution. Starting in 2031, producers must have an approved plan in place before selling any washing machines in the state, with a full ban on sales without approval beginning in 2032.
