STAR Information

New York state homeowners can reduce their school taxes through the statewide school tax relief program, STAR.

The Basic STAR and Enhanced STAR exemptions reduce what homeowners would otherwise owe on their property tax bills. Most STAR recipients save several hundred dollars on their property taxes each year.

STAR exemption amounts are calculated by the Office of Real Property Tax Services, a division of the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance. A homeowner’s property tax bill clearly states the exemption amount and tax savings. If taxes are held in an escrow account, homeowners should receive a receipt that includes STAR information.

Determine STAR Eligibility on the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website.

Register for the Basic and Enhanced STAR credits on the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website.
