Guidance on the new 467 income worksheet (RP-467-Wkst) for non-filers

At the New York State Assessors Association conference, earlier this month, attendees had some questions about the new Form RP-467-Wkst, Income Worksheet for Senior Citizens Exemption. Applicants for the senior citizens exemption must submit the new worksheet if their incomes were low enough that they were not required to file a federal income tax return (Form 1040) with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

We created a new webpage to explain how the worksheet should be used to determine the eligibility of those property owners.

 

Sign up for 2024 Winter-Spring ORPTS Classes

We’ve updated the ORPTS training schedule through Spring 2024. Classes fill up quickly, so don’t delay.

 

New for 2024:

 

  • Fundamentals of Data Collection is now available in live virtual format. The online class is taught live by instructors while you’re in your home or office.
  • All exams will be given virtually via WebEx, except for in-person classes and the self-study version of Introduction to Farm Appraisal. You will no longer be required to take the exam in person.

 

Coming soon: Introduction to Farm Appraisal will be held in-person in the spring. We’ll notify you when the class is scheduled and registration is available.
