This article shall be known as the "Increase in the Exemption
Amount Allowed for the Alternative Veterans Exemption Law" of the
Town of Ogden.
[Amended 12-14-2005 by L.L. No. 8-2005]
It is the purpose and intent of this article to implement legislation
which amends § 458-a, Subdivision 2, of the Real Property
Tax Law of the State of New York to allow the Town of Ogden to increase
the maximum exemption allowable in Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of
said subdivision to $36,000, $24,000 and $120,000, respectively.
The Town Board of the Town of Ogden hereby recognizes that the
total assessed value of the real property for which an exemption had
been granted pursuant to Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Subdivision
2 of § 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law has increased
substantially since the original enactment of § 458-a of
the Real Property Tax Law in 1984 and that the original maximum exemption
allowable under Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Subdivision 2 of § 458-a
of the Real Property Tax Law has significantly decreased as a percentage
of the total assessed value of the real property.
[Amended 12-14-2005 by L.L. No. 8-2005]
The Assessor of the Town of Ogden is hereby directed to increase
the maximum exemption allowable for the alternative veterans exemption

and to appropriately code all alternative veterans exemptions on the
assessment roll of the Town of Ogden to accurately reflect the increase.
