The School Tax Relief (STAR) Program provides eligible homeowners in New York State with relief on their property taxes. If you're 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 — you receive a direct reduction on your school tax bill in the form of a property tax exemption
Whether you receive the STAR exemption or the credit, there are two types of STAR benefits:
BASIC STAR
Available for owner-occupied, primary residences
The income limit for the Basic STAR credit is $500,000 (the income limit for the Basic STAR exemption is $250,000)
Based on the first $30,000 of the full value of a home
ENHANCED STAR
Provides an increased benefit for the primary residences of senior citizens (age 65 and older)
The income limit for the Enhanced Star benefit is $98,700 or less
Based on the first $68,700 of the full value of a home for the 2019-2020 school year
Enhanced STAR recipients are now required to enroll in the Income Verification Program (IVP).
Note: Senior citizens receiving Enhanced STAR may also be eligible for the senior citizens exemption.
