The Town Board of the Town of Cheektowaga finds
that recent changes in § 458-a of the Real Property Tax
Law of the State of New York would have the effect of reducing property
tax exemptions for veterans in the Town of Cheektowaga, and wishes
to increase the amount of exemptions allowable to such veterans.
The home value cap for veteran exemptions, as
provided for in § 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law, is
hereby increased from $80,000 to $120,000.
The maximum exemptions allowable under Subdivision
2 of § 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law for the following
classes of veterans is hereby increased as follows:
A. For war veterans [§ 458-a, Subdivision 2(a)]:
$18,000.
B. For combat veterans [§ 458-a, Subdivision
2(b)]: $12,000.
C. For disabled veterans [§ 458-a, Subdivision
2(c)]: $60,000.
