[Adopted 11-11-1997 by L.L. No. 12-1997]
The New York State Legislature has heretofore amended the Real Property Tax Law in relation to the amount of deductions available to persons 65 years of age or older.
The purpose of this article is to adopt an additional exemption for persons 65 years of age or older for unreimbursed medical and prescription drug expenses in an amount equal to such expenses. This amount shall serve to increase the level of income by such amount as paid for the foregoing, in such a manner as to apply to the income ceilings as set forth in Real Property Tax Law § 467(3)(a), as amended. This provision shall apply to real property taxes levied by the Town of Waterford.
This article shall be applied to an Assessment Roll prepared on the basis of a taxable status date occurring on or after August 1, 1997.
