Senior citizens living in the Hudson Valley have until the end of today to file for a reduction on their property taxes.

The New York Senior Citizen Property Tax Exemption allows for local governments and school districts in New York state to give a break on the amount of property taxes paid by qualifying senior citizens.

This is different and separate from the STAR program.

Seniors 65 or older who own a one, two or three family home, a condo, or a co-op may be eligible. Seniors must meet certain income limitations and other requirements, but depending on a person’s income, they could get a tax break anywhere between 5 to 50%.

In Yonkers, the total combined income of all owners and their spouses cannot exceed $58,399.99 for the 2024 tax year to receive the reduction.

Income limitations can vary by municipalities.

For seniors needing assistance or have questions, contact the Assessment Department or 914-377-6200, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
