INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS /
AMBULANCE WORKERS EXEMPTION IN CERTAIN COUNTIE S
Authorization for exemption: Section 466-a of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes the governing
body of a county, city, town or village in a county having a population of between (i) 261,000 and
270,000 according to the 1990 census (only Rockland County satisfies this standard) or (ii) 98,700 and
99,000 according to the latest federal decennial census (only Steuben County currently 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 twenty 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 and Steuben Counties, is March 1. Taxable status date in
cities is governed by city charter. Taxable status 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, city, town or village
authorizing the exemption. Proof of ownership of the property needs to be filed with the owner’s initial
application. The assessor may request proof of primary residence (e.g. voter’s registration, tax return).
