The Wilton Town Board recognizes the roles of
the volunteer fire fighters and ambulance workers in securing the
safety and well-being of our communities. The Wilton Town Board hereby
finds that it is in the best interests of the Town of Wilton to encourage
volunteerism for said purposes. The New York State Legislature has
amended the Real Property Tax Law, in § 466-g, to authorize
the Town to permit enrolled volunteer fire fighters and volunteer
ambulance workers to be eligible for a real property tax exemption.
To that end, by providing the following exemption it is the intent
to so encourage volunteerism for our various fire and ambulance companies.
