FAQ
DHE lowers the property taxes of eligible New Yorkers with disabilities. You may be able to reduce your home's assessed value by 5-50% depending on your income. Apply by March 15th for benefits to begin on July 1st of that year. If March 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is the next business day.
VA disability benefits are automatically exempt because they aren't included in your taxable income, so no application process is required.
With Priority Group 1 you will be entitled to the following: Medical treatment. Preventative medical care. Health care for dependents. Dental, vision and hearing care. Therapy to help you improve your ability to function. Services to improve your quality of life.
Eligibility for the Homestead Exemption: To be eligible for the Homestead Exemption in New York, you must meet the following criteria: The property must be your primary residence. Vacation homes, investment properties, and second homes do not qualify. You must own the property and have an equity interest in it.
Imagine you own two properties – a primary residence and a vacation home. If you designate your primary residence as your Homestead, you can benefit from various exemptions and lower tax rates. On the other hand, your vacation home would be considered a Non-Homestead property.
To get this exemption, you must fill out Form 11.13, checking the box for 100% Disabled Veterans Exemption, as well as all boxes that apply to you. You must attach documentation as well.
To qualify for an exemption that begins on July 1, you must be 65 or older by the following December 31.
Some properties, such as those owned by religious organizations or governments are completely exempt from paying property taxes. Others are partially exempt, such as veterans who qualify for an exemption on part of their homes, and homeowners who are eligible for the School Tax Relief (STAR) program.
Exemption applications must be filed with your local assessor's office. See our Municipal Profiles for your local assessor's mailing address. Do not file any exemption applications with the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance or with the Office of Real Property Tax Services.
