This bill removes population restrictions that previously limited eligibility for a property tax relief program to municipalities in specific counties. Currently, the program only applied to counties with populations between 65,390-65,400 or 98,900-99,000 (based on the 2010 census). The bill would allow any municipality in New York to join the program regardless of its county's population size. This change directly expands access to the residential-commercial exemption program for all local governments.
