Instructions
General instructions
When the Cold War veterans exemption is granted based in part
on a service-connected disability rating received from the United
States Veterans Administration or the United States Department
of Defense, evidence of continued exemption eligibility must be
provided by the property owner if the disability rating increases
or decreases.
The change in percentage of disability rating must be certied
on this form (RP-458-b-Dis) and led with the assessor prior
to taxable status date in order for the exemption to be properly
adjusted. Where property is located in a village which assesses,
a separate renewal application should be led with both the
village and town assessors.
Taxable status date for most towns is March 1. Westchester
County towns have either a May 1 or June 1 taxable status
date; contact the assessor. In Nassau county, the taxable
status date for towns is January 2. Taxable status date for most
villages which assess is January 1; however, the village clerk
should be consulted to insure certainty. Charter provisions
control the taxable status date in cities, but in the City of New
York, applications for this exemption may be led on or before
March 15. To ascertain the correct taxable status dates in cities,
inquiry should be made of city assessors.
