Update on solar and wind appraisal model
A Stipulation of Discontinuance in Matter of Town of Blenheim et al v Hiller was so ordered by the court on May 5, 2023. The discontinuance of that proceeding means that the temporary restraining order issued on April 29, 2022, is no longer in effect.
The Stipulation of Discontinuance is a result of the enactment of Part N of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2023. In accordance with section 3 of Part N, the Department of Taxation and Finance is hereby readopting the 2022 appraisal models and discount rates for use in 2023. Assessors seeking guidance regarding Part N, the discontinuance of Matter of Town of Blenheim et al v Hiller, and the Tax Department’s readoption of the models for use in 2023 should contact their municipal attorneys.
