Town of North Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman will be holding a series of property tax exemption seminars this fall. Learn about changes to STAR (Basic and Enhanced), senior citizens, veterans and other exemptions that could help lower property taxes. The income limit for the 2016-17 Enhanced STAR Exemption for seniors has been increased to less than $86,000 (based on 2015 adjusted gross income, less any taxable IRA distributions), so some previously ineligible homeowners now qualify.
