Town board moves to introduce local law restoring exemption for disabled residents with limited income
Summary
Putnam Valley's board voted to introduce a local law (No. 3 of 2026) to amend chapter 108, article 6, restoring and extending a property-tax exemption for disabled persons with limited income; the measure will be explained further at the next meeting.
The Putnam Valley Town Board voted to introduce a resolution to adopt local law no. 3 of 2026, which would amend and restate Article 6 of Chapter 108 of the town code to restore and extend a property-tax exemption for disabled residents with limited income.
The chair moved to introduce the local law for publication and further consideration. Board members said the change largely restores a prior provision that had inadvertently expired and that the intent is to continue the status quo while updating income thresholds consistent with 2025 changes. One board member said, "it's just to extend the already existing ever make it evergreen and not have not have an end date on it at this time."
Members agreed there is no substantive change to the exemption's terms other than making it continuous and ensuring the income levels reflect current statutory values; the board introduced the law for formal notice and scheduled further consideration next week.
The introduction was carried by voice vote; the board did not complete final adoption at this meeting.
