Summary

This bill expands a New York State property tax exemption for living quarters built for parents or grandparents to include quarters that were constructed or reconstructed before the section initially took effect in 2000. Previously, the exemption only applied to living quarters constructed or reconstructed after 2000; this bill allows the exemption to apply to older structures as well. The exemption remains available during taxable years in which at least one parent or grandparent maintains their primary residence in the living quarters. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
