Reminder: New STAR in-person income reporting events

Impacted STAR exemption recipients across the state can attend an in-person income reporting event in the coming weeks. Events are currently scheduled through January 15. We will add additional events as details become available. To find out when or where, view the schedule on our website.

At these events, Tax Department employees will help homeowners submit their income information and answer any other questions about the STAR program.

Homeowners may also submit their income information using the Homeowner Benefit Portal, our STAR Income Worksheet, or by contacting us at 518-457-2036.

If you are contacted by a property owner about the RP-5300-WSC or one of these events, please direct them to our STAR Resource Center featuring our new Respond to a STAR letter page.

You may also contact the Assessor and County Director Hotline by phone at 518-457-9053 or via email at Assessor.hotline@tax.ny.gov for additional assistance. Please remember, assessor hotline resources are for assessors and county directors and should not be shared with taxpayers.
