  • 1 BUFFALO FISCAL STABILITY AUTHORITY

    Buffalo, NY
    Budget

    The Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority's third-quarter analysis of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) for fiscal year 2024-25 shows the agency operating within its overall consolidated budget as of March 31, 2025, with revenues of $47.3 million (79.2% of budget) and expenses of $45.7 million (78.9% of budget). However, the Marine Drive Apartments property is significantly underperforming, with actual expenses at 113% of budget resulting in a $1.1 million net operating loss—$1.0 million worse than projected—driven by elevated general, maintenance, administrative, and utility expenses, though partially offset by $0.5 million in favorable rental revenues. Additional notable items include a $2.05 million transfer of Fosdick Field to the Buffalo City School District and a 17.2% employee vacancy rate across BMHA, with the Capital Improvements department experiencing a particularly high 42.9% vacancy rate.

    HB 247 would establish a property tax exemption for the appraised value of real property in border counties that results from border security infrastructure installation or construction, contingent on passage of HJR 34. The bill defines "border security infrastructure" and "qualified border security infrastructure agreements," prohibits appraisers from considering prices paid by state or federal entities when valuing property purchased for border security, and would reduce school district property tax revenue with minimal anticipated state costs through the school finance formula. No significant fiscal implication to the state is expected overall.
