BILL NUMBER:A5790A
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to an optional school tax exemption for certain disabled veterans
Summary of provisions
Section 459-a is added to the real property tax law to allow veterans with at least a 40% disability to a school tax exemption provided that, upon public bearing, the school district adopts a resolution to allow such. Medical proof of the disability would be required to granting an exemption under provisions of this bill.
Purpose or general idea of bill
The State of New York currently allows real property tax exemptions to be granted to veterans and persons over the age of 65 provided there is enabling legislation by the local muni- cipality. This bill would expand this provision and allow school tax exemptions for disabled veterans with the adoption of a resolution by the school district.
