Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to tax exemptions for persons with active military service of the United States and eligible reservists
Purpose
This legislation would allow the governing body of a city, village, town or county to adopt a local law that would exempt property owned by a person called to active duty, including reservists called to active duty, from real property taxes.
Summary of provisions
The real property tax law is amended by adding a new section 458-c.
Justification
This legislation provides a benefit to those who are called to active duty by the President of the United States.
Military personnel who are serving our country are sacrificing so much in order to protect the citizens of the United States. This legislation would allow the communities in which they live to express their gratitude to the military personnel by providing an exemption from real property taxes for the time that they are called to active duty.
This exemption would ease the financial burden that personnel and their families often face when they are called upon to serve.
