NOTICE FROM THE ASSESSOR’S OFFICE

Release Date: August 29, 2025

For Enhanced STAR exemption eligible property owners – homeowners will no longer be required to submit an application to the Assessor if they have had an ownership change or if they aged into the Enhanced STAR exemption.

New York State will notify local Assessors of Basic STAR exemption recipients who become eligible for the Enhanced STAR exemption rather than requiring seniors to apply to their Assessors.

Property owners who have a change of ownership will report it to the NYS Tax Department using the Homeowner Benefit Portal at https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/homeowner-benefit-portal.htm.

If internet access is not available, you may contact the NYS Tax Department at (518) 457-2036.
