NYS School Tax Relief (STAR) Program Information

The Village would like to share the following information regarding the New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) program:

The School Tax Relief (STAR) program provides eligible homeowners in New York State with relief on their property taxes. If you are a STAR recipient, you receive the benefit in one of two ways: If you are registered for the STAR credit, the Tax Department will send you a STAR check in the mail each year. You can visit https://www8.tax.ny.gov/SCDS/scdsStart to search for the delivery status of your check. If you are registered for the STAR exemption, you’ll see a reduction on your school tax bill for the amount of your STAR exemption.

If you have further questions about STAR, call the STAR helpline at 518-457-2036 from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
