A 5364: Limiting the shift between classes of taxable property in the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland

This bill limits how much property tax class percentages can change annually in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2025-2026. It restricts any single property tax class from increasing its share of total taxes by more than 1% compared to the previous year, but only if Haverstraw passes a local law approving this cap. If calculations would exceed the 1% limit, the town must adjust class percentages so they still total 100%. The law is now effective after being signed by the governor on August 22, 2025.
