BILL NUMBER:S878A

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-d 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 hearing, the school district adopts a resolution to allow such. Medical proof of the disability would be required prior to granting an exemption under provisions of this bill.

Justification

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 municipality. This bill would expand this provision and allow school tax exemptions for disabled veterans with the adoption of a resolution by the school district.
