spouse already receiving an exemption from the Village pursuant to
§ 458-a of the RPTL sells the property receiving the exemption
and purchases property within the Village, the Village Assessor shall
transfer and prorate, for the remainder of the fiscal year, the exemption
received. The prorated exemption shall be based upon the date the
veteran, the spouse of the veteran, or unremarried surviving spouse
obtains title to the new property and shall be calculated by multiplying
the tax rate for the Village on the appropriate tax roll used for
the fiscal year during which the transfer occurred times the previously
granted exempt amount times the fraction of the fiscal year remaining
subsequent to the transfer of title. Nothing in this section shall
be construed to remove the requirement that any such veteran, the
spouse of the veteran, or unremarried surviving spouse transferring
an exemption pursuant to this subdivision shall reapply for the exemption
authorized pursuant to this section on or before the following taxable
status date, in the event such veteran, the spouse of the veteran,
or unremarried surviving spouse wishes to receive the exemption in
future fiscal years.
