Reminder: New 23-minute RPS Online video preview
We are excited to share a new preview video of RPS Online.
The video includes:
- a walkthrough of the system's fundamental layout,
- demonstration of some basic functions, and
- system highlights.

Reminder: STAR reports available in the Online Assessment Community
The following reports are available in the Online Assessment Community for most municipalities:
- Final Roll Corrections Report (Report #7) See Final Roll Corrections Report (Report #7) Instructions.
- STAR Credit Eligible Report (Report #8) See STAR Credit Eligible Report (Report #8) Instructions. If a registered property owner does not appear on your report, this does not mean they won’t receive a STAR credit this year; we continue to approve registrations daily after this report is issued.
For instructions on how to navigate to your municipality’s STAR report within the Online Assessment Community, see How to Access and Download STAR Reports.
If you encounter any issues while accessing either report, follow these troubleshooting tips:
- Try a new browser (we have found that Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome often works best).
- Make sure you have cleared your browsing history, temporary files, cookies and/or cache and restart your browser, even if you’ve already done so recently. To learn how, see Browser requirements and troubleshooting tips.
If you still encounter any issues after following the above tips or have any other questions, email ORPTS at Assessor.Report.Feedback@tax.ny.gov.
Start planning your public education campaigns
If you’re doing a reassessment for 2026, it’s not too early to start planning the various ways you’ll help your citizens to understand—and even appreciate—your efforts.
We recommend that you work closely with your ORPTS customer service team to plan and implement your public education campaign. To get started, review our Educating the public webpage.
Reminder: Use the new Municipal Data Portal
Please be sure to bookmark the Municipal Data Portal landing page or use the links from our website so you can always access the modernized versions of Municipal Profiles, Sales Web, and Rates for School Apportionment.
The old applications have been disabled, so you’ll no longer be redirected to the correct site from an old bookmark. You should delete all old bookmarks and clear your browsing history if having trouble.
