Livingston County News - 2/16/2017

Livingston County Veteran Services is announcing extended office hours on Feb. 27 and 28 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. These hours are being made available to assist veterans from Mount Morris that would like to file an application for the alternative tax exemption. If you are currently receiving the tax exemption, no action is required.

The Mount Morris Central School District approved an alternative veterans tax exemption at its Feb. 8 meeting. The board approved an alternative veterans' exemption - one of three under consideration - that allows for exemptions of up to $6,000 for wartime service, $4,000 for combat veterans and $20,000 for disabled veterans.

Within the Mount Morris district there are 230 possible exemptions - 142 for wartime service, 60 for combat and 28 for disabled veterans. Multiple exemptions may be applied to a single property.

The Mount Morris Central School District includes Mount Morris and parts of Leicester, Groveland and West Sparta.

Walk-ins will be seen in order of arrival at the Veteran Services Office at 7 Murray Hill Drive, Mount Morris.

Veterans should bring their Active Duty Discharge form (i.e. DD214) and any service connection disability rating letters if applicable.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the office at (585) 243-7960.
