IS THE STAR EXEMPTION PROGRAM GOING AWAY?
No: The state is keeping the basic & enhanced STAR program, but it is eliminating the Middle Class STAR program. The difference is that basic/enhanced STAR reduces a homeowners assessment for calculating school taxes. The Middle Class STAR program sent a check to homeowners who have Basic STAR. The rebate amount was based on ones income and age and averaged up to $450 for senior citizens. State leaders eliminated the Middle Class STAR program, the states largest property tax rebate program, to help close a $17.7 billion budget deficit. WHERE DO I VOTE?
