Rep. Patrick J. Harkins
1st Legislative District
Erie County
Property Tax Reform

Gaming revenues generated more than $613 million for the state’s Property Tax Relief Fund this year. This summer, homeowners received property tax cuts of approximately $343 in Erie City School District and $364 in Iroquois School District.

As the revenue from current and yet-to-be-opened gaming facilities continues to grow, homeowners should receive even deeper school property tax cuts in future years.

My colleagues and I are committed to providing deeper property tax cuts for homeowners and more tax breaks for working people. Learn more about the bills we have drafted to help reduce your property taxes even more:
