The commissioner and any assessing authority shall be prohibited from assessing local public utility mass real property at a value that has a higher ratio to the full value of the local public utility mass real property than the ratio of assessed value of other real property in the same assessment class and jurisdiction to its full value, as provided in section three hundred five of this chapter.
Terms Used In N.Y. Real Property Tax Law 499-MMMM
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Local public utility mass real property: means public utility mass real property that is located in a particular town, village, city or county assessing unit and under the same ownership. See N.Y. Real Property Tax Law 499-HHHH
- Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
