ADOPTED
BE IT RESOLVED, a Public Hearing shall be scheduled for October 19, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. at the
Peter Alteri Jr. Municipal Garage located at 3587 Terrace Road, Cortland, New York, regarding
the modification (income eligibility) of the Real Property Exemption from Taxation for Persons
over the age of 65 years in the Town of Cortlandville.
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.

Attached is the old resolution and the sliding scale Laura completed in RPSV4 - so, the max Income level will be $30,699.99. Will that suffice for the
board? Because it's based on a ercentayf, I. guess ican't be exactly $30,000 is what she was explaining to me. Let me know if ya need anything else!
