Vot0$ TG Repeai Law Thai
Requires WO % Assessment
ROCKVILLE CNTR. - "This is a bill whose time has come" is the
way State Senctor Norman J. levy expressed ihs t:nt'^»'i^'^ with the
State Senate's passage on Tuesday of the Espcoito-Padavan bill by c
vote of 33-22. The bill, filed in both the Senate and the Assembly, re­peals
a 192-year-old state law which required property to be taxed on
Its full maHcet value. While the:: ' '
100% ass^sment requirement
y/fts not foUovtred, as taxes in most
i^eas have 'been assessed on
fractional valuation, a 1975 court
decision ordered full-value
assessment _ in ^ the Hellerstein
case.
^heir school,^nd,other local real
property taies." ^,
u;vy pointed out that the
Hellerstein decision, would deny
homeowners the long standing
lower tax rates they have-'Hii-.
ditionally been given>>in tecog-'
nition that'shelter —-.like food —
b a necessity oflife.'

of this bill by .the Soaate will
