TRUMANSBURG, N.Y. (WHCU) – Officials in Trumansburg will host a public hearing on a proposed local law.

The Trumansburg Village Board of Trustees will hold the meeting to discuss a law that would establish a property tax exemption for eligible volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers with a primary residence in the Village. It would give a 10% discount to certified members with no less than two years of service. It also grants a lifelong exemption to lifetime members with more than 20 years of service, provided the property serves as their primary residence. Additionally, provisions for un-remarried partners of deceased members are included. Learn more (Zoom link included.)
