2012–’13 Tax Rate Presentation September 18, 2012
Taxpayer Impact • Assuming • $100,000 full value home with: • Basic STAR (Under Age 65) • Enhanced STAR (Age 65+) • Three (3) scenarios for tax rate and additional assessments • Tax rate ranges from $12.63 to $13.22
Impact of Assessments • Tiny Central School District • $1,000 school tax levy
Equalization Rates • Established by the NYS Office of Real Property Services • Provides for equitable property tax allocation across taxing jurisdictions • Equalization seeks to measure the relationship of locally assessed values to the perpetually changing real estate market
Equalization Rates • Why is equalization necessary? • Not all municipalities assess property at the same percentage of market value • Taxing jurisdictions (most school districts), do not share the same taxing boundaries as the cities and towns assessing properties. • What does the equalization rate mean? • An equalization rate of 100 means that the municipality is assessing property at 100% of market value • An equalization rate of less than 100 means that the municipality’s total market value is greater than its assessed value • An equalization rate of greater than 100 means that the total assessed value for the municipality is greater than its total market value
