BILL NUMBER:S1995
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to partial property tax exemptions of school taxes for qualified veterans
Purpose
To extend real property partial tax exemptions for qualified veterans to include taxes for school purposes.
Summary of provisions
Amends §458 and 458-a of the real property tax law.
Justification
Currently, New York State law provides a partial property tax exemption for all qualified veterans. This exemption, however does not apply to school taxes, which means that any break these veterans' receive from their property tax must then be applied toward the school tax, for which they receive no credit. Considering the sacrifice these men and women have made for our country, it seems only fitting that they are afforded this small benefit.
