Enhanced STAR applications will also be processed for homeowners already enrolled in the STAR program prior to Jan. 2, 2015.
All HELP sessions are from noon to 2 p.m. Participants are asked to arrive no later than one half-hour prior to the scheduled end time for the event, and to bring copies of their 2024 federal and state income tax returns and other required documentation for completing the application.
“Nassau County residents deserve every opportunity to reduce their cost of living, and HELP workshops ensure that community members can receive personalized assistance with completing and filing for their exemptions in one convenient setting,” Legislator Nicks said. “Whether you are renewing or filing for the first time, I invite you to join us and make sure that you are receiving every exemption that you qualify for.”
