Exemption Information

The Town of Royalton currently participates in the following exemption programs:

  • Basic Star has moved to a State Program (518) 457-2036
  • Enhanced Star To qualify must own and reside as permanent address, be 65 years or older, income driven of less than (CALL FOR AMOUNT)
  • Low income over 65 To qualify must own and reside as permanent address, be 65 years or older, total income of household sliding scale
  • Veterans Must show DD214, selected years of service for qualifications
  • Agricultural Farmers must earn $10,000 over a two year continuous cycle, proof required

Exemptions for Senior Citizens (over 65) and the Enhanced STAR must be renewed each year because they are approved based on income. For those who file NYS income tax, and have filed an income verification form at the Assessor's office, your income is verified each year through the NYS Dept. of Taxation & Finance and no annual application is necessary for the Enhanced STAR exemption. Once you have been granted an exemption, renewal applications are mailed each year for the Enhanced STAR, Senior Citizen, Agricultural Land, Disability, and Non-Profit exemptions. Veteran's exemptions are granted based on ownership and period of service rendered. Once granted, they generally remain until ownership changes. ALL EXEMPTION APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY MARCH 1 OF EACH YEAR. Although the responsibility of filing for the exemption is upon the property owner, we will make every effort to assist the owners.
