The Senior Citizens Exemption is based on income. Key changes to the law are in which income tax year information is used in income calculation, and in how specifically income for exemption eligibility is calculated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In Tioga County, the income tax year to be used is the second-previous calendar year. For example, to calculate income for the exemption for 2024, the 2022 income tax information would be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Income calculation begins with the Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) from an individual\u2019s tax return. Note \u2013 for seniors who do not file their taxes, the Town Assessors have a worksheet provided by the State to calculate income.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">From FAGI there are five adjustments: Taxable IRA distributions are deducted; Social Security benefits not included in FAGI are added; medical and prescription drug expenses not covered by insurance may be deducted if the taxing jurisdiction had previously opted into this provision; tax-exempt interest and dividends are added; and losses claimed on income taxes are limited to $3,000 per category of loss, with the total not to exceed $15,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each taxing jurisdiction &#8211; the County, municipalities, and School Districts \u2013 has a scale that shows the percentage of the exemption granted based on the property owner\u2019s income. It is recommended that individuals review these scales before applying for the exemption.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Scales can be found on the Tioga County website at <a href=\"https:\/\/tiogacountyny.gov\/departments\/real-property-assessment-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/tiogacountyny.gov\/departments\/real-property-assessment-rolls\/<\/a>. This information also applies to the Persons with Disabilities and Limited Income Exemption (Real Property Tax Law 459-c).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Applications for these exemptions must be submitted to your Town Assessor by March 1 in order to be applied to the upcoming assessment roll. Contact your Town Assessor for further assistance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Assessor contact information can also be found on the Tioga County Real Property <a href=\"https:\/\/tiogacountyny.gov\/departments\/real-property-assessment-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tioga County senior citizens are advised that in 2023 the New York State Legislature made changes to the Senior Citizens Exemption (Real Property Tax Law&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":94125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
