Tax Relief for Senior Citizens in East Hampton
Unlocking Savings: NY’s Sliding Scale Senior Tax Break
According to The East Hampton Star, East Hampton‘s Assessor’s Office is reminding senior citizen residents, aged 65 and above, about the potential tax breaks they can receive on their primary residence’s property taxes. These breaks could reduce their property tax payments by 5% to 50% of their property’s assessed value. The reduction amount depends on their income, which must fall between $3,000 and $58,400 annually. To apply for this exemption, senior citizens must submit an application by March 1. Their eligibility is determined based on their income reported to the IRS in 2022. Applicants need to provide proof of property ownership and proof of income below the $58,400 limit.
