A.
Purpose and intent. It is the purpose and intent of
this section to adopt legislation pursuant to Real Property Tax Law
§ 458-a effective January 1, 1997, to direct the Town Assessor
to adjust the cap of the alternative veterans tax exemption to ensure
the veteran will receive approximately the same amount of exemption
that he previously received.
B.
Amount of exemption. The Assessors of the Town of
Holland are hereby directed to raise the cap of the alternative veterans
tax exemption to a maximum of $100,000 of assessed value, with a maximum
$15,000 (15%) exemption for wartime and an additional maximum $10,000
(10%) for combat duty times the applicable equalization rate. Additionally,
the maximum amount of tax exemption for a disabled veteran shall be
$50,000. Said exemption shall be calculated by taking the percentage
of assessed value equal to 1/2 of the veteran's service disability
rating, times the applicable equalization rate.
C.
Application of exemption. This exemption shall be
applicable in accordance with the provisions of the Real Property
Tax Law.
