STAR INFORMATION
STAR is New York State’s School Tax Relief Program that includes a partial property tax exemption from school taxes. All New Yorkers who own and live in their home - whether it’s a condominium, cooperative apartment, manufactured home, farm dwelling, apartment building or mixed-use property - are eligible for the STAR exemption on their primary residence.
Application Process
Even though all homeowners are eligible for a STAR exemption, please note that the savings are not automatic. To receive your STAR tax cut, you must file an application with your local property assessor by March 1st. If you have applied previously and been granted the Basic STAR exemption you do not need to reapply. However, you must notify your assessor if your primary residence changes. Most seniors receiving the Enhanced exemption will need to reapply.
