[Adopted 7-9-2013 by L.L. No. 14-2013]
The Town Board hereby finds and determines that § 470 of the Real Property Tax Law (Chapter 188 of the 2012 Laws of the State of New York) authorizes municipalities to provide a real property tax exemption for improvements to real property meeting certification standards for green building.
The Town Board further finds and determines that the Town of
Huntington has historically pursued policies to promote energy efficiency
and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Town Board also determines that the Town of Huntington should
give homeowners and businesses an incentive to comply with LEED standards
when making improvements to their real property.
Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a real
property tax exemption for improvements to real property which meet
LEED certifications standards, as authorized under § 470
of the Real Property Tax Law.
This Article implements § 470 of the New York Real
Property Law by granting a real property exemption for improvements
to real property located in the Town of Huntington, which meet LEED
certification standards for green buildings.
A.
Real property, which is certified under a LEED certification standard
for the categories of certified silver, gold or platinum, as meeting
green building standards, as determined by a LEED accredited professional,
when found acceptable to the Assessor, shall be exempt as provided
below for the respective percentages provided that a copy of the LEED
certification for a qualified category is filed with the Town Assessor's
Office and is approved by the Assessor as meeting the requirements
of § 470 of the New York Real Property Tax Law and this
article. Such exemption shall be to the extent of any increase in
assessed value resulting from the construction or reconstruction of
a property meeting LEED certification, and shall not be available
until the completion of the project and the issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy, or other applicable documentation deemed acceptable
by the Town Assessor.

For the purpose of this article the term "Construction of Improvements"
shall not include ordinary maintenance and repairs.
If the Assessor is satisfied that the applicant is entitled to an exemption pursuant to this article, he or she shall approve the application and such real property shall thereafter be exempt from taxations as provided in this section and § 178-52, above, commencing with the assessment roll prepared after the next occurring taxable status date. The assessed value of any exemption granted pursuant to this section shall be entered by the Assessor on the assessment roll with the taxable property, with the amount of the exemption shown in a separate column.
