Under the current state legislative scheme, towns
in Westchester County have been required to use a taxable status date
of June 1 of each year. Westchester County recently enacted legislation
enabling towns in Westchester to elect to use an alternate taxable
status date of May 1.
The Town Board of the Town of Greenburgh finds it
is in the public interest to use a taxable status date of May 1 to
alleviate the timing difficulties with respect to accepting exemption
applications, finalizing other work relating to the valuation of real
property and meeting the requirement of publishing the tentative assessment
roll.
This article shall hereafter be known and cited
as the "Alternate Taxable Status Date."
The taxable status date in the Town of Greenburgh
shall be May 1.
