2013 Penfield Tentative Roll
EXEMPTION STAR APPLICATION - RP425
The New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) Program provides an exemption from school taxes for
owner-occupied, primary residences where the combined 2011 income of the owners and spouses who reside on
the property does not exceed $500,000. Senior citizens with combined 2010 incomes that do not exceed $79,050
may qualify for a larger “Enhanced” exemption. Senior citizens who wish to continue receiving Enhanced
STAR in future years without having to reapply and submit copies of their tax returns to their assessor
every year are invited to sign up for the STAR Income Verification Program. Please see Form RP-425-IVP
for more information. Seniors who do not choose to enroll in the income verification program must reapply each
year to keep the Enhanced exemption in effect. If you are receiving the “Basic” exemption, you usually do not
need to reapply in subsequent years, but you must notify the assessor if your primary residence changes and
must provide income documentation when requested.
