Property owners

We’re sending income request letters (Form RP-5300-WSC) to certain STAR recipients to confirm their income and determine which STAR benefit they’re entitled to.

If you received this letter, provide us with your income information online within 45 days of the date of your letter, either using:

our online Income Verification Worksheet (no account required), or
the Homeowner Benefit Portal in your Individual Online Services account.

To learn more about this letter, see Respond to a STAR letter: RP-5300-WSC.

To make information about local governments more accessible, we recently launched our new Municipal Data Portal. The portal includes two tools for property owners—Municipal Profiles and Sales Web—and one tool primarily for school officials—Rates for School Apportionment.
