One copy is for your records; the other should be returned with the necessary attachments. To make special franchise assessments for your assessment roll, the Board of Real Property Services must have the most accurate and current information available. Your help is essential. The requested information covers the time period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Moore of my staff at (518) 473-8219. Special Franchise generally includes all tangible real property, which is not municipally owned, and is located in, under, upon or above public places, such as streets, water bodies, etc. It is also the right to occupy such public areas with that tangible property (Section 102, Subdivision 17, Real Property Tax Law). Public utility companies own most special franchises. Special franchise owners also include cable television operators, owners of private pipelines or other owners of property using the streets and highways. The locatioh of a public place for sale of products or services identifies a special franchise, not any characteristic of the owner or business. At the suggestion of many assessors and some county directors, copies of Form RP 7114 have also been sent to the assessors for their input. In the case of any boundary changes, we expect to receive maps from the clerk's office only. The first section of the form requests information about changes in municipal boundaries. This data is needed to determine the value of any special franchise property which may be affected bv annexation. If there have been changes in municipal boundaries, it is necessary to attach a map indicating the changes; a tax map would be most helpful. -2- The second part requests information about new special franchises. If a new special franchise has been granted, it is necessary to attach a copy of the franchise. If there have been more than two new special franchises granted during the past year, please attach an additional page with the complete names, addresses and construction status. However, do not include property listed on last year's special franchise tax roll. The third section requests information regarding substantial new construction, which is in, under, upon or above the public right of way. It is also necessary to indicate whether or not construction is pursuant to a special franchise. If there have been more than two such caSE~S during the past year, please indicate this also on an attachment. Additionally, if the property was not constructed in 2002, please include the year built. The fourth part is available for your comments. Comments may also continue on an attachment, if needed. The fifth part requests the name, title, address and telephone number of the person to be contacted, if necessary. This information is needed in all cases. If there have been no boundary changes, no new special franchises and no changesi in construction in the public right of way, then it is merely necessary to identify your county and municipality at the beginning of the form, indicate "NO" in Part 1, indicate "NA" in Parts 2 and 3 and provide the requested information in Part 5. Your cooperation in completing this questionnaire will result in future assessments that accurately reflect changes to special franchise property in your municipality. Please return one copy of the form and attachments to our office by April 15, 2003. Enclosures RP 7114 (10/02) IMPORT ANT 1.
