On November 2, 2026, in response to inquiries from local veterans, we posted an article regarding the new 100% Property Tax Exemption for Qualified Disabled Veterans. This exemption was passed by the New York State Legislature and signed into law by the Governor on February 13, 2026. While originally enacted as a mandatory requirement for all municipalities and school districts (providing 100% property tax relief to veterans with a 100% disability rating who are unable to work), New York State has since reversed this action. The exemption is no longer mandatory and is now optional for municipalities and school districts. Additionally, the eligibility criteria may have changed. We are reviewing the new law and will be posting a follow-up article when we have more information.
