Tax Exemptions

Tax exemptions reduce the taxable value of assessed Real Property. This is generally calculated by taking the total assessed value of a property and deducting the value of the exemption. The resulting difference is the taxable value which is what the tax rates are applied to.

Detailed information about property tax exemptions can be found at the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

Eligibility Requirements

Each exemption has varying requirements. Some exemptions have income thresholds while still others require supporting documents. Many exemptions require annual renewal while others require application only upon property transfer. If applying for exemptions, you should consult with your local assessor as they are the ones that receive and approve exemptions.
