New York State Comptroller's Office Enforces Tax Cap Law
What happened
The office of Thomas DiNapoli enforced the state tax cap law. This law, which was first applied to local governments outside of New York City in 2012, limits annual tax levy increases to the lesser of the rate of inflation or 2%, with certain exceptions. Separately, a town board in Potsdam approved a tax cap override to allow the 2027 budget to proceed.
