Form RP 7114
Enclosed is FORM RP 7114, which is used to solicit information pertaining to special
franchise assessments. To make special franchise assessments for your assessment roll, the
Office 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, 2004
to December 31,2004.
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). Owners include public utility and CATV operators,
owner of private pipelines or other owners of property using the streets and highways. The
location of property in a public place for sale of products or services identifies a special
franchise, not any characteristic of the owner or business.
Form RP 7114 has been sent to the municipal clerks required by the Rules for Real
Property Tax Administration, Section 197-2.11. At the suggestion of many assessors and
county directors, copies of the form 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.
We encourage you to work together and submit one form for each municipality.
Detailed instructions for each section are included on the form. If there have been no
boundary changes, no new special franchises and no changes in construction in the public right
of way, then it is only 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.
Y our 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 the necessary attachments to our office by April 15, 2005. If you have
questions, please contact Carol Moore of my staff at (518) 473-8219.
