REALTOR Lobby Day will bring push for tax cap extension

REALTORS from across New York State will travel to Albany today to show their support for an extension of the state’s successful property tax cap, which has helped make homeownership more affordable for both new and long-time New York homeowners. Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan will also speak during the event, which begins 9 a.m. in Meeting Room 6 at the Empire State Plaza. 

Additionally, REALTORS will be discussing other key issues including: a proposed tax credit for the installation of a residential sprinkler system; the codification of real estate teams in New York’s Real Property Law; greater transparency in the cooperative apartment buying process; first-time homebuyer programs; and opposition to all increases in real estate transfer taxes.
