STAR maximum exemption savings
We recently announced the maximum 2025-2026 STAR exemptions savings are available online. The RPSV4 database update is now available for download as well.
To install the update, log in to the Online Assessment Community and select RPSV4 Updates in the menu. Under STAR data, download and run Star_Cap_2025.exe.
The update will not change the level number of your database. Replication users should run the update at the consolidated site and each remote site.
2025 STAR exemption amounts are also available online statewide, except for Nassau County. (We will make the exemption amounts for Nassau County available in May)
If you would like a copy of the STAR exemption certificate, email orpts.star@tax.ny.gov.
