for an exemption from taxation for Town, county, and school tax purposes
based on eligibility.
B. The exemption forms for the Star, Enhanced Star and
senior citizen tax exemption are located in the Assessor's Office
at the Town Hall.
All provisions of § 467, Subdivision
1(b), of the Real Property Tax Law applicable to the granting of exemptions
of Town tax, insofar as such provisions are not inconsistent with
the provision of this article, shall be applicable to the effectuating
of the exemption provided by this article.
