ARTICLE III. REAL ESTATE TAX EXEMPTION FOR ELDERLY AND DISABLED PERSONS

Sec. 21-46. Effective date; change in circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 21-44, changes in respect to income, financial worth, ownership of property or other factors occurring during the taxable year for which an affidavit is filed under this article, and having the effect of exceeding or violating the limitations and conditions set forth in this article, shall nullify any exemption for the remainder of the current year and the taxable year immediately following, and such exemption shall only be reinstated upon requalification in accordance with the limitations and conditions set forth in this article.

(b) A change in ownership to a spouse, when such change has resulted solely from the death of the qualifying individual, or a sale of such property, shall result in a prorated exemption for the then-current taxable year. The proceeds of the sale which would result in the prorated exemption shall not be included in the computation of net worth or income as provided in subsection (a). Such prorated portion shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the exemption by a fraction wherein the number of complete months of the year such property was property eligible for such exemption is the numerator and the number twelve (12) is the denominator.
