By Chapter 270 of the Laws of 1999, the New York State Legislature has amended Real Property Tax Law § 467 to enhance the tax exemption benefits provided to senior citizens. The aforementioned amendment provides that the tax exemptions provided to senior citizens under § 467 shall apply to real property in which a person or persons hold a legal life estate or which is held in trust solely for the benefit of a person or persons if such person or persons would otherwise be eligible for a real property tax exemption were such person or persons the owner or owners of such property. It would be in the best interests of the senior citizens of Albany County for the County to adopt the amendment authorized by Chapter 270 of the Laws of 1999.
The County of Albany hereby adopts the aforementioned amendment to Real Property Tax Law § 467 authorizing the above-indicated enhancement to the tax exemption provided to senior citizens.
