Summary
Three new or expanded property tax breaks are on the table: full exemptions for seriously disabled veterans (about $40,000 citywide impact, helping up to 26 vets), a 50% exemption for surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty, and up to 25% off for combat-zone active-duty service members. All would take effect with the 2027 assessment roll if adopted.

Impact analysis
The veterans exemption alone would cost roughly $40,000 in forgone city and library tax revenue — about $1,540 per qualifying household.
Disabled veterans, gold-star police spouses, and combat-zone service members who own homes in Peekskill.
No one directly, though the exempted revenue is shifted across the remaining tax base.
