The Assessor’s Office is
responsible for:
Middle Class STAR Program
The enacted NYS budget for
the fiscal year 2007 included a real property tax relief program known as
“Middle Class STAR”. The new program
expands upon the existing STAR program by providing an increased benefit for
homeowners with “affiliated” incomes less than $250,000/year. The increased benefit will be administered
by the NYS Department of Taxation & Finance and will be paid in the form of
rebate checks. The increase in the
Basic STAR benefit will be determined on a sliding scale keyed to income
affiliated with the property.
Applications may be submitted online or via regular mail, and applicants
will be notified of the need to apply by the NYS Department of Taxation &
Finance. Applicants will not have to
reapply for the rebates in future years.
Those who receive Enhanced
STAR will receive a rebate check in an amount equal to 25% of their 2006-2007
savings this year. Recipients of the
Enhanced STAR will receive their checks automatically and will not have to
apply.
If you have further
questions, please contact our office.
Exemption renewal forms will be mailed to Town residents in mid-December. If you would like to fill out and turn in your renewal form earlier, forms may be obtained at the Assessor’s Office or by accessing the State Office of Real Property Service (ORPS) website @ www.orps.state.ny.us and clicking on forms.
