The municipality may (1) limit the amount of tax relief provided by such program on an individual basis or in the aggregate, and (2) incentivize such graduates to buy a first home in certain geographical areas of such municipality. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to deny a person any other exemptions from property tax to which such person is entitled to by law.
