This bill authorizes the town of Southampton (with a 2020 census population between 69,000 and 69,500) to create a homestead property tax exemption for residents. It allows eligible homeowners to reduce their local property tax bill by up to $50,000 in assessed value, using the same eligibility rules as the existing STAR school tax relief program.
