Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing Paul Nehrich to be considered a "veteran" for real property taxation purposes
Purpose
To grant Mr. Paul Nehrich the Alternative Veterans Exemption under Section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law of New York State by defining him as a "veteran" under Section 458-a(1)(c)and(e).
Summary of provisions
Section One defines Mr. Paul Nehrich, of Freeport, NY, as a "veteran" under Section 458-a(1)(e) of the Real Property Tax Law of New York State such that he is considered a "qualified owner" under 458-a(1)(c). This designation allows Mr. Nehrich to obtain the Alternative Veterans Exemption for property taxes on his property in Freeport, NY.
Section Two is the effective date.
Justification
Mr. Nehrich served our country in the Army National Guard in the early 1960s. During his service, Mr. Nehrich accrued five months and twenty-nine days of active service time according to his DD214 form. Mr. Nehrich also served an additional four months and three days through two-week long summer camps and one weekend per month for three years. Further, from 1975-2010, the Nassau County Assessor granted Mr. Nehrich the Alternative Veterans Exemption for property taxes on a qualifying property he owned in Bayville, NY. After selling his property in Bayville, and buying a property in Freeport, NY, Mr. Nehrich again applied for the exemption, but was denied because the County Assessor found that he had served less than six months and did not qualify as a "veteran" under the Real Property Tax Law of New York State. Since 2011, Mr. Nehrich has appealed this decision, but has yet to be granted a hearing. Due to the hardship that the denial of the exempt status poses to Mr. Nehrich, which he had received for thirty-five years prior to the County Assessor's denial, this legislation would grant Mr. Nehrich a designation as a "veteran" for the purpose of allowing him to receive the Alternative Veterans Exemption under Section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law of New York State.
