STAR credits are on the way!
The STAR program offers property tax relief to eligible New York State homeowners. To find out when we'll issue checks and direct deposits for your area, use our STAR Credit Delivery Schedule lookup.
Important: Our Contact Center representatives cannot provide a specific delivery date. You may receive your check or deposit before or after your neighbor or family member. To see whether we've already issued your STAR credit, or to see prior years' credits, use our Property Tax Credit Lookup tool.
Please note, if you're receiving the STAR exemption on your school property tax bill, you won’t receive a STAR check or direct deposit.
For more information about STAR, including how to register, visit our STAR resource center. For the latest on property tax and news for homeowners, subscribe to Tax Tips for Property Owners.
