Sponsor's memo

BILL NUMBER:S3233A

Title of bill

An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the computation of real property tax liability of veterans receiving an exemption

Purpose

To allow municipalities the option to ensure that Veterans who qualify for certain exemptions from property tax, do not see unreasonable increases in their tax liability in recognition of their service to our nation.

Summary of provisions

Section 458 of the real property tax law is amended to to ensure that the tax liability of a veteran who qualifies for a property tax exemption, shall be frozen at its current level.

Statement in support

This bill would allow municipalities the option to provide a well deserved benefit to Veterans who currently qualify for a property tax exemption. The purpose of this legislation is to essentially freeze a qualified veterans tax liability at its current level. The bill will serve not only as a well deserved benefit to our heroic veterans, but also as a tool to increase recruitment at a time when our military is engaged in several conflicts around the globe.
