Exemptions

 

 

STAR

 

If you purchased a new home in 2015 to present: 

 

New STAR applicants will receive a credit in the form of a check directly from NYS instead of receiving a school property tax exemption. The amount of your STAR benefit is the same regardless of how you receive it.

 

You need to register with the New York State Tax Department to receive a STAR check.  Register at www.tax.ny.gov or call (518)-457-2036 for further information. 

 

Any resident who has owned their property prior to 2015 will still receive the exemption off of your tax bill.

 

If you currently have STAR with the assessor's office, are turning 65 by the end of 2024 and your adjusted income is $98,700 or less; you can apply for the enhanced STAR exemption to receive additional savings.   Contact our office for additional information.
