STAR Credit Eligible Report (Report #8) now available

The STAR Credit Eligible Report is now available in the Online Assessment Community for localities where school tax bills are issued on or around September 1.

The STAR Credit Eligible Report lists property owners who will receive the 2024 STAR credit from our department.

If a registered property owner does not appear on your report, this does not mean they won’t receive a STAR credit this year; we continue to approve registrations daily after this report is issued.

Use the reports to update your roll file with STAR credit recipients before tax bill processing so the required language* appears on appropriate school tax bills.

For complete instructions, see STAR Credit Eligible Report (Report #8) Instructions.

RPSV4 users: You can run the STAR Credit Update Utility to update your roll file. After running the report in the Online Assessment Community, click the Export RPS Bulk File button for the report. The instructions linked to above include step-by-step instructions for the utility.

* Required language for STAR credit recipients: An estimated STAR check has been or will be mailed to you by the NYS Tax Department. Any overpayment or underpayment can be reconciled on your next tax return or STAR credit check.

Reminder: Final Roll Corrections Report (Report #7) now available to most municipalities

If you submitted your final roll to us by July 10, your Final Roll Corrections Report (Report #7) is now available in the Online Assessment Community (OAC). If you submitted your final (or amended) roll to ORPTS after July 10, we will issue your report at a later date.

Report #7 includes the following:

  • disparities between the final assessment roll and Reports #1, 2, and 3
  • changes to our determination due to a taxpayer responding to our mailing
  • flags for parcels that have missing or incomplete IVP enrollments
  • IVP enrollments that have been closed

What to do next

Use this report to update the roll file before the processing of school tax bills. By law, you are authorized to make the changes indicated on the report after publishing the final roll.

Update the roll file that will be used to issue school tax bills based on the Current Status field. However, if a property is listed on the report as eligible but you’re aware that – as of taxable status date – it’s not eligible due to age, ownership, or residency:

Questions

For detailed information on how to run and interpret the report, see Final Roll Corrections Report (Report #7) Instructions.

FYI: Annual request for 2024-2025 school tax rates

School tax rates are crucial to calculate STAR credits. We sent a request to school officials for their tax rates last week, so that our department can process STAR credits. We will reach out to school districts individually if we don’t receive their tax rates promptly.

For more information, see the announcement.
