About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs NYS STAR Property Tax Exemption in its New York City, NY research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

The School Tax Relief (STAR) program provides a partial exemption from school property taxes for owner-occupied primary residences. New applicants receive the STAR credit as a check rather than an exemption. Available to all qualifying homeowners.

Savings vary by school district tax rate and assessment
