NYS Comptroller's Property Tax Levy Limit Report

Every chartered library that receives funding through direct levy (library funding that is voted on by the public) must now file this report annually.  This went into effect when the NYS Property Tax Cap Law was passed on June 24, 2011.

We have prepared detailed instructions and FAQ's for filling out the Property Tax Levy Limit Report.  Before panicking, please read through the instructions.  If you still feel unsure or would like someone to walk you through as you fill it out, give Amy Zuch at NCLS a call.  (The call is guaranteed to be 10 minutes or less in length.  If not, she will buy you lunch!)
