The purpose of this article is to adopt for the Town of Geddes the provisions contained in § 467 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York, including amendments thereto which may be enacted after the effective date of this article (hereinafter referred to as "RPTL § 467,") with respect to the granting of a partial exemption from taxation of real property owned by persons who are 65 years of age or over.

Except as stated in this chapter or by resolution adopted pursuant to Subsection A above, the entitlement to, eligibility for and the procedural requirements for applying for and obtaining said tax exemption shall be as set forth in RPTL § 467.
The Town Board shall cause notice of the public hearing required by Subsection A above to be published in the official newspaper of the Town of Geddes not less than 10 nor more than 20 days before the date set for said hearing.
No person who otherwise qualifies for a tax exemption pursuant to § 467 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York and this article shall be denied such exemption if, during any year after the effective date of this subsection, said person becomes 65 years of age after the taxable status date and before December 31 of the same year.
In computing the income of owners of property for the purposes of determining the amount of the exemption to which such owners shall be entitled under this article, such income shall not include veterans disability compensation as defined in Title 38 of the United States Code.
Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, an owner of real property who otherwise qualifies for the exemption set forth in RPTL § 467 may make an application for the exemption to the Town Assessor after the taxable status date but before July 31 in any year, such late application to be accompanied by an explanation setting forth good cause for the owner having failed to submit the exemption application prior to the annual taxable status date occurring in March of each year. The Assessor will not unreasonably deny or withhold the grant of the exemption to owners who otherwise qualify and "good cause" shall be established for, among other reasons, circumstances where an owner has unintentionally failed to timely submit their exemption application but would otherwise qualify for the exemption.
