Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to veterans

Purpose of bill

To permit school districts to offer the "eligible funds" veterans real property tax exemption, as provided in section 458 of the real property tax law.

Summary of provisions

Section 1. Amends paragraph 3 of subdivision 1 of section 458 of the real property tax law (RPT) to permit school districts to offer the "eligible funds" real property tax exemption to eligible veterans, if the governing body of a school district in which such property is located, after public hearings adopt a local law, ordinance or resolution grant the exemption for school purposes.

Sections 2-5 amend RPT § 458(5)(a), RPT § 458(5)(d)(ii), RPT § 458(6)(a)(1) and RPT § 458(9) to make conforming changes.

Section 6. Effective date.

Justification

Currently, New York State property tax laws provide partial property tax exemptions to qualified veterans of the United States Military. Unfortunately, this exemption is not applicable to school taxes. Given the incredible sacrifices made by our military personnel, it is only fitting that we extend the veteran's property tax credits to school taxes.
