Senior citizens living in Yonkers have one month to file for a reduction on their property taxes.

Oct. 15th is the deadline for the New York Senior Citizen Property Tax Exemption. The 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.
