The STAR program offers property tax relief to eligible New York State homeowners. Are you expecting a STAR credit check or direct deposit from New York State? To find out when we'll issue checks and direct deposits for your area, use our STAR Credit Delivery Schedule lookup:

Note: If you receive the STAR exemption on your school property tax bill, you won’t receive a STAR check or direct deposit. If you’re not sure whether you’re receiving the STAR exemption or credit, see our question and answer on the topic

Are you a homeowner who isn't receiving a STAR credit or STAR exemption? Register for the STAR credit. If you have questions, review our frequently asked questions.
