27,500 according to the latest federal decennial census (only Lewis County currently satisfies this

standard) to partially exempt the residence of a volunteer firefighter or volunteer ambulance worker.

Computation and duration of exemption: The exemption is available only to members of incorporated

volunteer fire companies, fire departments or incorporated volunteer ambulance services who have been

certified as being enrolled members for at least five years. The municipality determines the procedure for

the fire company, fire department or ambulance service. The exemption is available only to the primary

residence of the applicant and only to property (or the portion thereof) exclusively used for residential

purposes.

The exemption equals 10 percent of the assessed value of the property to a maximum of $3,000

multiplied by the latest state equalization rate for the assessing unit in which the property is located.

However, for village tax purposes, where the property previously received the $500 exemption authorized

by section 466 of the Real Property Tax Law, the minimum exemption is $500.
