School tax exemption deadline fast approaching
Greenfield urges homeowners to sign up for STAR
Dec. 31 is more than just the last day of 2013. It also marks the last day in which homeowners can register for New York State’s school tax relief program, otherwise known as STAR.
Councilman David Greenfield (D-Borough Park-Midwood-Bensonhurst) is among many elected officials across the borough making a last minute push to get homeowners to sign up for STAR before it’s too late.
Dec. 31 is the deadline to complete a new mandatory one-time registration with the state in order to continue receiving the basic STAR homeowner exemption on school property taxes for 2014 and the following years.
