STAR Exemption Forms Are Removed From Website

All STAR forms are being removed from our website. The 2025-2026 Enacted State Budget included several provisions to simplify the STAR program. HOMEOWNERS WILL NO LONGER BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT STAR APPLICATIONS TO THE ASSESSOR if they had an ownership change or if they aged into the Enhanced STAR exemption.

The Office of Real Property Tax Services will notify assessors of Basic STAR recipients who become eligible for Enhanced STAR (rather than requiring seniors to apply to their assessors.)

For all STAR related information please refer to – https://tax.ny.gov/star or call (518) 457-2036.
Thank you!
