[Adopted 10-16-2006 by L.L. No. 13-2006[1]]
The Board of Trustees hereby acknowledges and
expresses its gratitude for the courageous and professional service
of the members of the Lynbrook Volunteer Fire Department; the time,
effort and fearlessness invested by each firefighter to the essential
work of the Fire Department; and the profound financial benefit to
the Village and its residents of the volunteerism of these brave members
of the fire service. As a small measure of gratitude, and to encourage
members of the Fire Department to continue their service, the Village
enacts this article to provide a real property tax exemption to its
volunteer firefighters.
A.
Real property owned by an enrolled member of the Village's
Volunteer Fire Department or by such enrolled member and spouse residing
in the Village of Lynbrook shall be exempt from taxation to the extent
of 10% of the assessed value of such property for Village taxes, exclusive
of any special assessments.
B.
No such exemption shall be granted to an enrolled
member of the Volunteer Fire Department unless:
(1)
The applicant resides in the Village of Lynbrook;
(2)
The property is the primary residence of the
applicant;
(3)
The property is used exclusively for residential
purposes; provided, however, that in the event any portion of such
property is not used exclusively for the applicant's residence but
is used for other purposes, such portion shall be subject to taxation
and the remaining portion only shall be entitled to the exemption
provided by this section; and
(4)
The applicant has been certified as a current
member of the Village's Volunteer Fire Department and a member for
at least five years. The Village Assessor shall determine the procedure
for such certification.
