School Tax Relief 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:

  • The STAR credit program (open to any eligible homeowner whose income is $500,000 or less)—you receive a check in the mail from the Tax Department to apply to your school taxes.
  • The STAR exemption program (now closed to new applicants)—you receive a direct reduction on your school tax bill in the form of a property tax exemption.

Enhanced STAR, which provides increased savings, is available to qualifying senior citizens ages 65 and older in both the credit and exemption programs; click here for STAR eligibility.

Important Changes to STAR Program

If you currently receive your STAR benefit as a reduction on your school tax bill (the STAR exemption), you may receive a greater benefit if you switch to the STAR credit; you will receive a check instead.

Note: The income limit for the Basic STAR exemption is now $250,000. If your income is more than $250,000, you must switch to the credit to continue receiving a STAR benefit.

See changes for exemption recipients for important information.

How to Calculate Your Homestead Taxes

  1. Use the 2021 Assessed Value for your property.
  2. Divide by $1,000 to get your assessed value per $1,000 basis.
  3. Multiply by the estimated mill rate of $13.32.
  4. Deduct the estimated Basic STAR ($1,303) or Enhanced STAR ($2,860) exemption,* if you are.

*Partial exemptions should be deducted before STAR exemptions. STAR is only applicable on a resident’s primary residence, with certain income.
