Instructions for Application for Volunteer Firefighters / Ambulance Workers Exemption in Certain
Counties
Authorization for exemption: Section 466-a of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes the governing body
of a county, town or village in a county having a population of between 261,000 and 270,000 according to the
1990 census (only Rockland County satisfies this standard) to partially exempt the residence of a volunteer
firefighter or volunteer ambulance worker. The exemption does not apply to school taxes.
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
certification. In addition, at further local option of the county, town or village, the exemption may be granted
for the life of an enrolled member who has accrued more than 20 years of active service.
The exemption may be granted only to applicants who reside in the city, town or village served by 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.
Place and time of filing application:
The application must be filed annually in the assessor’s office (or
other official as designated by the municipality ) on or before taxable status date. Taxable status date in most
towns, including those within Rockland County, is March 1. Taxable status date date for most villages which
assess is January 1, but the village clerk should be consulted for variations. Proof of certification of enrolled
membership in the fire company or department or ambulance service shall be as required by the county, town
or village authorizing the exemption. Proof of ownership of the property need be filed only with the owner’s
initial application.The assessor may request proof of primary residence (e.g., voter’s registration, tax return ).
