BILL NUMBER:S4810
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to authorizing the commissioner of taxation and finance to develop in consultation with the director of the New York state division of veterans' affairs a listing of documents to be used to establish veterans' eligibility for certain property tax exemptions
Purpose or general idea of bill
This measure would authorize the commissioner of taxation and finance to develop a listing of documents to be used to establish veterans' eligibility for the three veterans real property tax exemptions (eligible funds exemption; alternative veterans exemption and the cold war veterans exemption.)
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: adds a new subdivision 10 to the eligible funds exemption that would require the commissioner of taxation and finance to consult with the director of the division of veterans' affairs to develop a list of acceptable documents to be used to establish eligibility for this veterans' exemption.
Section 2: adds a new subdivision 9 to the alternative veterans exemption that would require the commissioner of taxation and finance to consult with the director of the division of veterans' affairs to develop a list of acceptable documents to be used to establish eligibility for this veterans' exemption.
Section 3: adds a new subdivision 8 to the cold war veterans exemption that would require the commissioner of taxation and finance to consult with the director of the division of veterans' affairs to develop a list of acceptable documents to be used to establish eligibility for this veterans' exemption.
Section 4: Sets the effective date.
Justification
Currently, the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS), which is under the jurisdiction of the commissioner of taxation and finance, works with the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs to supply a list of acceptable documents that can be used to establish eligibility for the three veterans' real property tax exemptions. This information is supplied to assessors and is available in the assessor's manual that is updated each year by the ORPTS with the help of the division. This measure places current practice into law and ensures that this information is available to the numerous veterans advocates that help those who have served in our military file the these exemptions properly.
