Sign up for Fall, Winter, and Spring ORPTS Classes

We’ve updated the ORPTS training schedule through Spring 2025. Classes fill up quickly, so don’t delay.

New for 2024:

  • We will administer all exams virtually via WebEx, except for in-person classes.
  • Coming soon: We will hold Introduction to Farm Appraisal in-person in the spring. We’ll notify you when the class is scheduled and registration is available.

Have questions or need an accommodation to attend one of our classes? Email orpts.edservices@tax.ny.gov.

Reminder: 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 a 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.
