STAR Re-Registration Coming Up
Homeowners have to re-register for Basic STAR exemptions by Dec. 31.

The STAR program provides a partial exemption from school taxes for most homeowners with incomes less than $500,000 on their primary residences. The new registration process will not affect this year’s tax bills, nor will it affect Enhanced STAR. Seniors are required to register every year to receive the Enhanced STAR exemption.
