Turning 65 this year?
You may be eligible for the 2022 Enhanced STAR exemption if you’re turning 65 anytime during this calendar year and:
- you currently receive the Basic STAR property tax exemption,
- your 2020 income was less than or equal to $92,000, and
- all other owners of the property will be 65 years of age or older by December 31, 2022 (unless the other owner is your spouse or sibling).
