Warren County, NY property tax exemptions (2026)

The property tax breaks that are set or run locally in Warren County, on top of New York’s statewide rules: what each is worth here, who qualifies, where to apply and the deadline.

What is different in Warren County

In Warren County the county and each city, town, village and school district decide separately which local-option exemptions to give and set their own income limits, so your benefit depends on exactly where you live. On the 2025 assessment rolls of its 12 cities and towns, at least one level of government (the county, the city or town, a school district or a village) grants the senior exemption in all, the disability exemption in 2, the Cold War veterans exemption in all and the volunteer firefighter/ambulance exemption in 8 of them; that shows where an exemption exists somewhere in the town, not that the county adopted it, and the state's counts are exemption records, not homes. For county taxes Warren's senior limit is $29,000 for 50% (sliding to $37,399), and town limits run from $12,025 (Thurman) to $31,500 (Johnsburg).
