Enact a Property Tax Cap Now!
The State Senate’s vote to establish a property tax cap is welcome news to all New Yorkers. In backing Governor Paterson’s property tax cap proposal, the Senate has sided with an overwhelming number of New Yorkers who are crying out for property tax relief.
The concept of setting cap to limit the
annual growth of property taxes in New York has
extensive support – 76% of all respondents
including 83% of homeowners in a recent Siena
poll expressed their support for a property tax
cap. Upstate and suburban middle-class
homeowners make up the largest group of
supporters. The fate of this vital reform is
left to the Assembly majority. Tell your
representative that they should demand Speaker
Silver respond to the pleas of homeowners
across the state and support a property tax cap
in New York.
