CONDOMINIUM UNIT OWNERS’ AUTHORIZATION OF THE CONDOMINIUM BOARD TO CHALLENGE THE CONDOMINIUM’S REAL PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT REMAINS VALID FOR SUBSEQUENT TAX YEARS UNLESS CANCELED OR RETRACTED, THERE IS NO NEED FOR YEARLY AUTHORIZATIONS (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Fahey, over a two judge dissent, reversing the Appellate Division, determined that a condominium board of managers need only seek one authorization from condominium unit owners to challenge the condominium’s real property tax assessment  The authorization is deemed to remain in effect in subsequent tax years unless canceled or retracted:

This appeal presents the question whether Real Property Law § 339-y (4) requires a condominium board of managers to obtain a separate authorization from each condominium unit owner granting the board authority to proceed on behalf of that owner for each tax year in which the board challenges the condominium’s real property tax assessment. We conclude that section 339-y (4) allows a standing authorization issued by an owner to confer authority upon a board to act on behalf of that owner for the tax year in which that authorization was issued and in all subsequent tax years, unless such authorization is canceled or retracted. Matter of Eastbrooke Condominium v Ainsworth, 2019 NY Slip Op 02384, CtApp 3-28-19
