AMBULANCE WORKERS EXEMPTION IN COLUMBIA COUNTY

Authorization for exemption: Section 466-d of the Real Property Tax Law authorizes the governing body of a

county, city, town, village or school district in a county having a population of between 63,000 and 63,100

according to the latest federal decennial census (only Columbia 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 certification. In addition,

at local option of the county, city, 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. At further local option, the exemption is also available to the

un-remarried spouse of an enrolled member who was receiving the exemption when he or she was killed in the line

of duty. In addition, at local option, the exemption may be continued or reinstated for the un-remarried spouse of

an enrolled member accrued at least 20 years of active service and was receiving the exemption prior to his or her

death.

The exemption may be granted only to applicants who reside in the city, town, village or school district

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 towns within

Columbia County is March 1. Taxable status date for most villages which assess is January 1, but the village clerk

should be consulted for variations. Taxable status dates in cities is governed by city charter. Proof of certification

of enrolled membership in the fire company or department or ambulance service or status as un-remarried spouse of

enrolled member killed in the line of duty or who served 20 years shall be as required by the county, city, town,

village or school district 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).
