IT Superintendent Reminds Residents to Re-Register for STAR Tax Reduction

Island Trees Superintendent of Schools Charles Murphy is reminding residents to re-register for the STAR tax reduction program, as the state requires it this year. 

"This is an approximate $700 rebate for the average New York State home," Murphy said.  

Recently, New York State has announced that about 800,000 homeowners have failed to re-register for this program, Murphy said.  

"We hope that all Island Trees homeowners take notice and make sure they have re-registered for the STAR program," he said. 

The deadline to re-register for the program is December 31, 2013. Please find the following link for registration information - http://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/star13/default.htm.
