Hillsdale board adopts tax-exemption law for neighboring emergency personnel
Summary
After a public hearing, the Town Board unanimously approved Local Law 2025-2 on April 15, extending a real-property tax exemption to emergency personnel who serve municipalities adjacent to Hillsdale.
The Town of Hillsdale adopted Local Law 2025-2 on April 15, 2025, extending a real-property tax exemption to emergency personnel who serve municipalities adjacent to the town. Supervisor Mike Dvorchak opened a public hearing on the proposal, saying the purpose was to extend the exemption to adjacent-municipality emergency personnel.
Volunteer firefighter Nico Hernandez spoke in support during the public hearing: "the Fire Company needs new members, and he thought that the revised law was a good idea." After discussion the board approved the measure by roll call under Resolution 60-2025; Attorney Ken Dow called the roll and the vote recorded five ayes (Dvorchak, Virello, Carty, Feld, Carano Nordenstrom). The hearing portion was adjourned earlier in the evening and the board proceeded to the regular meeting where the ordinance was formally adopted.
