The town is reminding Huntington residents over the age of 65 to apply for a possible senior tax exemption on Dec. 2012 tax bills.

The first, the Enhanced STAR school tax exemption, is a state-funded exemption for homeowners, according to a town release.

The requirements are: Applicants must be 65 years of age by Dec. 31, 2012 (except husband and wife or sibling co-owners; only one needs to be 65); 2010 income cannot exceed $79,050 (federal adjusted gross less taxable IRA distributions); and applicants will need to file with the Town Assessor’s Office by March 1, 2012, according to the town.

Additionally, a limited income senior citizen exemption is available for possible reductions to school, county, police, town, highway and library taxes, according to the town. For this exemption, 2011 income bills cannot exceed $37,400.
