The School Tax Relief Program (STAR)
School taxes are the highest property tax that a New York homeowner will pay. The STAR program was introduced to help lower these costs. The STAR program functions like the typical homestead exemption in most states. While originally a standard exemption, STAR has transitioned to a tax credit or rebate. This means that you will receive a payment in the form of a deposit or a check to help offset your property tax costs. However, if you had an exemption applied to your home prior to 2016, you can keep that instead. It is only new homeowners that can only choose the credit option.
There are two types of STAR programs. The first is Basic STAR, which is similar to the standard homestead exemption in most states. This is available to everyone, regardless of age, as long as their yearly income is below $500,000. Then there is Enhanced STAR, which is for homeowners age 65 or older with a combined income under $107,300. This cap will be expanded for the 2026-27 school year to $110,750.
• Basic STAR Benefits: Typically, a tax credit of between $300 and $500. The exemption removes $30,000 from the taxable value of a home.
• Enhanced STAR Benefits: Tax credit usually pays between $800 to $1,500. The exemption removes $86,000 in value.
