RESOLUTION NO. 275 (1995)
Councilman Roberts offered the following resolution and
asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 186 adopted September 20, 1994 the
Town of Dryden adopted a formula which would partially exempt
certain real property within the Town owned by persons sixty -five
(65) years of age or over, and
WHEREAS, certain amendments to the Real Property Tax Law have
provided for the option to the Town to increase the income
eligibility levels,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN BOARD AS FOLLOWS:
1. Real property owned by one or more persons each of whom is
65 years of age or over, or real property owned by a husband and
wife, one of whom is 65 years of age or over, shall be exempt by
taxation by the Town of Dryden to the extent set forth in the
following formula:

20 Any exemption provided in this resolution shall be
computed after all other partial exemptions allowed by law have
been subtracted from the total amount assessed.
3. The real property tax exemption on real property owned by
a husband and wife, one of whom is 65 years of age or over, once
granted, shall not be rescinded solely because of the death of the
older spouse so long as the surviving spouse is at least 62 years
of age.
4. No exemption shall be granted:
(a) If the income of the owner or the combined income of
41 the owners of the property for the income tax year immediately
I
preceding the date of making application for exemption exceeds the
amounts set forth in the formula in this resolution. Income tax
year shall mean the twelve month period for which the owner or
owners filed a federal personal income tax return, or if no such
return is filed, the calendar year. Where title is vested in
either the husband or the wife, their combined income may not
exceed such sum. Such income shall include social security and
retirement benefits, interest, dividends, total gain from the sale
or exchange of a capital asset which may be offset by a loss from
the sale or exchange of a capital asset in the same income .tax
year, net rental income, salary or earnings, and net income from
self - employment, but shall not include a return of capital, gifts
or inheritances. In computing net rental income and net income
from self - employment no depreciation shall be allowed for the
exhaustion, wear and tear of real or personal property held for the
production of income;
(b) Unless the title of the property shall have been
vested in the owner or one of the owners of the property for at
least twelve (12) consecutive months prior to the date of making
application for exemption, provided, however, that in the event of
the death of either a husband or wife in whose name title of the
property shall have been vested at the time of death and then
becomes vested solely in the survivor by virtue of devise by or
descent from the deceased husband or wife, the time of ownership of
the property by the deceased husband or wife shall be deemed also
a time of ownership by the survivor and such ownership shall be
deemed continuous for the purposes of computing such period of
• twelve (12) consecutive months. In the event of a transfer by
either a husband or wife to the other spouse of all or part of the
title to the property, the time of ownership of the property by the
transferor spouse shall be deemed also a time of ownership by the
transferee spouse and such ownership shall be deemed continuous for
the purposes of computing such period of twelve (12) consecutive
months. Where property of the owner or owners has been acquired to
replace property formerly owned by such owner or owners and taken
by eminent domain or other involuntary proceedings, except a tax
sale, the period of ownership of the former property shall be
combined with the period of ownership of the property for which
application is made for exemption and such periods of ownership
shall be deemed to be consecutive for purpose of this section.
Where a residence is sold and replaced with another within one (1)
year and both residences are within the state, the period of
ownership of both properties shall be deemed consecutive for
purposes of this resolution. Where the owner or owners transfer
title to property which as of the date of transfer was exempt from
taxation under the provision of this resolution, the reacquisition
of title by such owner or owners within nine (9) months of the date
of transfer shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement of this
paragraph that the title of the property shall have been vested in
the owner or one of the owners for such period of twelve (12)
consecutive months. Where, upon or subsequent to the death of an
• owner or owners, title to property which as of the date of such
death was exempt from taxation under such provisions, becomes
vested, by virtue of devise or descent from the deceased owner or
owners, or by transfer by any other means within nine (9) months
after such death, solely in a person or persons who, at the time of
such death, maintained such property as a primary residence, the
requirement of this paragraph that the title of the property shall
have been vested in the owner or one of the owners for such period
of twelve (12) consecutive months shall be deemed satisfied;
i
(c) Unless the property is used exclusively for
residential purposes, provided, however, that in the event any
portion of such property is not so used exclusively for residential i
purposes but is used for other purposes, such portion shall be
subject to taxation and the remaining portion only shall be
entitled to the exemption provided by this section;
(d) Unless the real property is the legal residence of
and is occupied in whole or in part by the owner or by all of the
owners of the property, provided that an owner who is absent while
receiving health- related care as an inpatient of a residential
health care facility, as defined in Section 2801 of the Public
Health Law, shall be deemed to remain a legal resident and an
occupant of the property while so confined and income accruing to
that person shall be income only to the extent that it exceeds the
amount paid by such owner, spouse, or co -owner for care in the
facility; and provided further, that during such confinement such
property is not occupied by other than the spouse or co -owner of {
such owner.
• 5. The Town shall notify or cause to be notified, each
person owning residential real property in the Town of the
provisions of this resolution. This may be met by a notice or
legend set on or with each tax bill to such persons reading "You
may be eligible for senior citizen tax exemptions. Senior citizens
have until (month) (day) (year) to apply
for such exemptions. For information please call or write
," followed by the name, telephone number
and /or address of a person or department selected to explain the
provisions of this resolution. Failure to notify, or cause to be
notified any person who is, in fact, eligible to receive the
exemption provided by this resolution or the failure of such person
to receive the same shall not prevent the levy, collection and
enforcement of the payment of the taxes on property owned by such
person.
69 Application for such exemption must be made by the owner,
or all of the owners of the property, on forms prescribed by the
Office of Real Property Services and shall furnish the information
and be executed in the manner required or prescribed in such forms,
and shall be filed in such assessor's office on or before the
taxable status date.
7. At least sixty (60) days prior to the taxable status
date, there shall be mailed to each person who was granted an aged
exemption on the latest completed assessment roll an application
•
form and a notice that such application must be filed on or before
the taxable status date and be approved in order for the exemption
to be granted. Within three (3) days of the completion and filing
of the tentative assessment roll, notice by mail shall be given to
any applicant who has included with his application at least one
self - addressed, pre -paid envelope, of the approval or denial of the
application; provided, however, that upon the receipt and filing of
the application there shall be sent by mail notification of receipt
of the same to any applicant who has included two (2) of such
envelopes with the application. Where an applicant is entitled to
a notice of denial such notice shall be on a form prescribed by the
State Board of Equalization and Assessment and shall state the
reasons for such denial and shall further state that the applicant
may have such determination reviewed in the manner provided by law.
Failure to mail any such application form or notices or the failure
of such person to receive any of the same shall not prevent the
levy, collection and enforcement of the payment of the taxes on
property owned by such person.
80 Any conviction of having made any willful false statement
in the application for such exemption, shall be punishable as set
forth in Real Property Tax Law Section 467(7).
