Pursuant to Paragraph 1 of Real Property Tax Law § 466-c,
real property owned by an enrolled member of the Garden City Volunteer Fire
Department that serves within the Village of Garden City shall be exempt from
taxes to the extent of 10% of the assessed value of such property for Village

Such exemption shall not be granted to an enrolled volunteer firefighter
unless:
A.
The applicant resides within the Village of Garden City;
B.
The property is the primary residence of the applicant;
C.
The property is used exclusively for residential purposes,
provided, however, a pro rata exemption will be granted to the extent that

Fire Department as an enrolled member for at least five years.
Application for such exemption shall be filed annually with the Village
Assessor on or before the taxable status date of January 1 on a form prescribed
