Bill Allowing Fire Districts to Collect Tax from Tax Exempt Properties.

[mdm911 5]

The following bill would greatly help all of the Fire Districts in New York State. The purpose of this bill is to allow the fire districts to tax the properties in their district that are tax exempt. Although tax exempt properties do not pay town, school or fire tax, they do pay water and sewer tax. Fire protection is a service that these tax exempt properties receive for free, while everyone else is paying for them. Please help support this bill by writing to your assemblyman/assemblywoman.

should be interesting to see if the state makes the state pay, over 50% of the our district is tax exempt whic includes mostly state property.

Will probably not pass......and if it does and is challenged, will probably be thrown out in court.

I definitely vote in favor of taxing all these non governmental "non profits" who see millions come in their accounts every year.
