Changes to Enhanced STAR Exemption

New York State Division of Taxation and Finance has made changes to the Enhanced STAR exemption beginning with the 2019-2020 School Taxes. All eligible homeowners MUST enroll in the Income Verification Program (IVP) when applying for Enhanced STAR.

If you are currently receiving the BASIC STAR exemption and are eligible for Enhanced STAR, you MUST file forms RP-425-E and RP-425-IVP.

All applications MUST be received in the Assessor's Office no later than May 1, 2024.

NEVER RECEIVED A STAR EXEMPTION BEFORE?

If you're a new homeowner or first-time STAR applicant, you need to register for the STAR credit with the Tax Department. For more information about the STAR credit, visit http://www.tax.ny.gov/STAR
