New Construction and Tax Cap Calculation

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Village with information regarding the effect of increased
assessed value due to new construction on a local government’s tax levy limit (e.g., the “tax cap”).
As illustrated thorough the link below, available from the New York State Comptroller’s Office, a tax base
growth factor is applied annually by the State to calculate a municipality’s tax levy limit.
https://www.osc.ny.gov/files/local-government/property-tax-cap/pdf/formula.pdf
The tax base growth factor is provided by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (Office
of Real Property Tax Services) to each taxing jurisdiction for use in determining the allowable tax levy
growth. The tax base growth factor is based on the Department of Taxation and Finance’s determination of
increases to a district’s assessed value due to “quantity change,” such as new construction, newly taxable
status of existing property, or measurable improvements to taxable property. As a result, new growth
experienced by a district year over year does not count against the tax levy. Rather, the tax growth factor
is applied to the previous year’s tax levy and serves as a “pre-cap” growth factor so that new development
does not count against the tax cap.
