FILE FOR PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS
Exemptions, resulting in property tax savings, are available to qualifi ed residents
for the following categories:
· School Tax Relief Program (STAR)- Residents may receive only one of the
following:
-STAR Credit- the STAR Program has been changed by New York State. New
recipients, and current recipients whose annual income is between $250,000
and $500,000, will be issued a check directly from New York State instead of
receiving a school property tax exemption. The amount of the benefi t will be
the same. You cannot receive both the credit and the exemption. Register with
New York State by telephone at (518) 457-2036 or online at www.tax.ny.gov/
pit/property/star/default.htm.
-Basic STAR Property Tax Exemption- this program provides an exemption
from school property taxes for owner-occupied, primary residences with an
annual household income of less than $250,000. Current Basic Star Exemption
recipients will keep their exemption as long as they continue to own their
current home.
-Enhanced STAR Property Tax Exemption/Credit- this exemption is available
to senior citizen homeowners who are 65 years of age or older during the
year in which the exemption takes effect, and whose annual income does not
exceed $92,000. Senior citizens whose annual income exceeds $92,000 will
still be eligible for the Basic STAR Exemption/Credit. Current Enhanced
Star Exemption recipients will keep their exemption as long as they continue
to own their current home. Recipients must enroll in the Income Verifi cation
Program.
-Senior Citizen exemption provides a tax savings for individuals over the age
of 65, whose income is less than $37,400. To participate and receive this tax
savings (between 5% and up to 50% reduction on certain county, town and
school district property taxes) specifi c qualifi cation criteria must be met.
-Veterans Exemptions are for those individuals who rendered service to our
country. The eligibility to receive this exemption and amount to be exempted
depends upon the time, duration and type of service, along with other criteria.
-Cold War Veterans Exemption is for veterans who served during the Cold War
period. The Law also provides an additional exemption to disabled veterans.
-Gold Star Parent Exemption is available for the parent of a child who died
in the line of duty while serving in the United States Armed Forces during a
period of war, as defi ned in NYS Real Property Tax Law.
-Persons With Disabilities and Limited Incomes Partial Property Tax Exemption
is available to eligible applicants who have a physical or mental impairment,
not due to use of alcohol or illegal drug use, that substantially limits that
person’s ability to engage in one or more major life activities. The requirements
to qualify are based on the person’s disability, ownership, residency and
occupancy status, and income. Persons with incomes less than $37,400 can
qualify to receive an exemption from 5% to 50% of the assessed value.
-Home Improvement Tax Reductions Program for the Physically Disabled is
granted to those persons who are physically disabled and meet certain criteria.
It is equal to the amount of any increase in value of property attributable to
improvements made for the purpose of facilitating and accommodating the use
and accessibility of the property.
-Home Improvements Exemption is an eight-year decreasing exemption on
alterations, reconstructions or improvements that increase the assessed value
of a one or two family home. In the fi rst year, 100% of the assessed value of
the improvement is exempt. In the second year, 87.5%, in the third year, 75%
and so on. Certain eligibility requirements must be met to participate in this
program.
-First-Time Home Buyers of Newly Constructed Homes may apply for and
receive a partial real property tax exemption. The maximum exemption is offered
over fi ve years, starting with a 50% exemption the fi rst year and phasing
to 10% in the fi fth and fi nal year. Homebuyers are subject to certain price and
income limits set by the State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA).
-Volunteer Firefi ghter and Ambulance Worker Exemption is available to eligible
fi refi ghters and ambulance workers. Up to 10% reduction in the assessed
value of their property can be obtained to volunteers who have served at least
fi ve years in a Town of Oyster Bay Fire Department in which they reside.
Certain eligibility requirements must be met to participate in this program.
