When our country gets into conflict overseas, it is our military that flexes their muscle in order to keep the rest of us safe. There are many veterans in Nassau County and all over central New York who have returned home from conflict to civilian life. One small way we try to thank America's heroes is by offering certain tax exemptions on their property.
I am trying to bring awareness to this great program because it is being underutilized. Only 50% of veterans currently have tax exemptions on their property. One reason for this is that veterans simply don't know about the program, so I want to bring awareness to all veterans with this video. Another reason that many veterans don't take advantage of this program is because of their pride. Proud soldiers don't want to feel like they are being given a hand-out, but they should realize that this program is not what this is. The tax exemptions offered to veterans are just a small token of appreciation that can never make up for what they have sacrificed to keep us safe.
Veterans of foreign wars can get up to 15% off their home tax. They can get an extra 10% off if they were in a combat zone and if wounded, an additional 20% off of that. That's almost 50% of the original property tax.
If you are a veteran, or know somebody who is, please reach out to them with this information. This is a great program in place meant to honor our heroes for keeping us safe. I will place the link to sign up below and you can begin taking advantage of the benefits that are in place for you. Thank you for serving our country!
