Understanding New York's Property Tax Cap Law

Did you know that New York's Property Tax Cap Law does not cap a homeowner's tax bill to a 2% increase? Instead, the law that New York State passed applies to the tax levy - or the total money the district collects in property taxes - not a homeowner's tax bill.
