A 2631 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides additional tax exemptions for two qualified veterans living in the same household

This bill expands property tax exemptions for veterans living together in the same household. It adds up to a 7.5% exemption (capped at $6,000) for non-combat veterans sharing a home, and up to a 5% exemption (capped at $4,000) for veterans who served in combat zones. Local governments must adopt these provisions through public hearings and local ordinances to implement the additional tax breaks. The changes directly affect qualifying veterans living with other veterans and require local jurisdictions to formally approve the exemptions.
