A 3729 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a real property tax exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty

Bill A 3729 would provide a 50% exemption from real property taxes on the primary residence of surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty. Local governments would need to pass a law or resolution to implement this exemption, which applies to primary homes including certain cooperative housing arrangements. Eligibility requires proof the officer died while on duty, verified through documentation like death certificates or service records. This policy change directly affects surviving spouses of fallen officers by reducing their property tax burden.
