2009-A3889 (ACTIVE) - Summary

Provides localities with the option of allowing veterans, who are otherwise entitled to the veterans' real property tax exemption, to take advantage of the value of such exemption as of the date they purchase property, rather than waiting until the next taxable status date to have such exemption applied to taxes which are levied based upon the tax roll established after such taxable status date.
