The STAR exemption is part of New York State’s School Tax Relief (STAR) program, which provides a reduction on school property tax bills for eligible homeowners.

Key Information

• Purpose: To provide property tax relief on an owner-occupied primary residence.

• Who Gets the Exemption: Only homeowners who have been continuously receiving the STAR exemption since the 2015-2016 tax year can continue to receive it, provided they remain eligible.

• How it Works (for existing recipients): The exemption amount is subtracted directly from the school property tax bill. The value of the exemption savings is capped and does not increase annually.

• New Applicants: Must register for the STAR credit with the state. The credit amount is generally the same as the exemption but can increase by up to 2% each year, potentially offering a greater long-term benefit.

Online Registration: Use the NYS Tax Department website.
Phone Registration: Call (518) 457-2036.

There are two forms of the STAR benefit. See chart in image.
