Tax Exemption Information
Reminder from the Assessor's office:
It is that time of year that if you are 65 or older and are in the STAR Enhance program, it is time to renew your exemption.
STAR renewals will be mailed out on November 9, 2009. If you do not receive your renewal by November 20th, then please give us a call at 336-6055.
We are asking property owners to submit copies of their 2008 income (We prefer the Federal Income tax return) with their application. The deadline for renewals is March 1, 2010. We encourage property owners to submit their renewals by January so that our office has time to process the applications.
If you are a senior that will be turning 65 years old during 2010, and your total adjusted income for 2008 is at or less then $74,700, then you may qualify for the STAR Enhance program. You need to apply for the exemption by March 1, 2010 even though your birthday may be after March 1, 2010. Please give our office a call and we will by happy to send you an application.
Our office number is 585-336-6055
Thank you
