Town offering free property tax exemption seminars

The Island Now

Town of North Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman will be holding a series of Property Tax Exemption Seminars throughout the Town over the next several months.

Residents can learn about important changes to STAR (Basic and Enhanced), senior citizens, veterans and other exemptions that could help lower property taxes.

The income limit for the 2019-2020 Enhanced STAR Exemption for seniors is under $86,300 (based on 2017 adjusted gross income, less any taxable IRA distributions), making some previously ineligible homeowners now qualified for the exemption.

Staff members will be on hand to distribute applications and answer questions.

The Property Tax Exemption Seminars will take place as follows:

Tuesday, Oct. 2, 7 to 8:45 p.m. at Hillside Public Library, 155 Lakeville Road, New Hyde Park

Thursday, Oct. 4, 7 to 8:45 p.m. at Shelter Rock Public Library, 165 Searingtown Road, Albertson

Monday, Nov. 19, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Westbury Memorial Public Library, 445 Jefferson St., Westbury

Tuesday, Nov. 20, 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Bryant Library, 2 Paper Mill Road, Roslyn

For more information about the seminars, contact the Town’s 311 Call Center by dialing 311 or 516-869-6311.
