BILL NUMBER:S3836
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation
to real property tax exemptions for combat veterans
PURPOSE: Increases the amount combat veterans shall be exempt from
real property taxation from 10% to 35%.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section one amends paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 458-a of
the real property tax law.
Section two is the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: Veterans who served in a combat zone protecting the
United States of America should see an increase in their property tax
exemption. Military personnel serving in combat zones are fighting to
protect our nations freedoms by putting their lives on the line every
day. To show New York's appreciation, this legislation would exempt up
to 351 (currently 101) of the assessed value on their real property
for combat zone soldiers. This measure would greatly benefit these
brave individuals who have served foreign land combat zones for
extended periods of time away from their families. New York State
residents who are in the military and serve our country bravely,
sacrifice their lives so we may enjoy peace and prosperity as a nation
