Local option Yes; each county, city, town, village, and school district may choose (1) whether or not to allow the base (50%) exemption and (2) the amount of the maximum income exemption eligibility level (see Ownership Requirements above). The option to exempt must be exercised through adoption of a local law, ordinance, or resolution (after a public hearing). In addition, each county, city, town, village, and school district which has chosen to allow the base exemption may choose to permit an increase in the maximum income exemption eligibility level and a corresponding decrease in the percentage of exemption. Sliding scale of exemption: Local legislation authorizing the base exemption may be amended or new legislation adopted to allow, for each $1,000 increase in income, a reduced exemption ranging from 45% to 35% of assessed value and, for each further $900 increase in income, a reduced exemption ranging from 30% to 20% of assessed value. Through further amendment or additional legislation, a local taxing jurisdiction may extend the exemption to two higher $900 increments of income, allowing corresponding exemptions of 15% and 10% of assessed value. Through yet an additional local amendment or legislation, the local taxing jurisdiction may extend the exemption to another $900 increment of income for a corresponding exemption of 5% of assessed value. The increased income levels apply automatically to municipalities that have enacted the sliding -scale provisions.
