Changes to exemptions for property owners age 65 and over

Below is an important notice for property owners age 65 and older.

New STAR requirements for 2019:

To receive the Enhanced STAR exemption, you must enroll in the Income Verification Program (IVP). If you’re already enrolled, no action is needed.
If you qualify for the senior citizens exemption, you will no longer automatically receive the Enhanced STAR exemption. You must apply for Enhanced STAR separately.
