Q. Which types of libraries fall under the New York State Property Tax Cap?
A. Libraries that have had a public vote on their budget – special district public libraries, school district public libraries and those municipal public libraries and association libraries that have used the 414 municipal ballot or 259 school district ballot options fall directly under the new regulation. To learn more about the tax cap visit the Public Library District Toolkit from the New York State Library.
