Manufactured home and co-op spreadsheets due May 8, except on Long Island
We encourage you to get started on your manufactured home and co-op spreadsheets. To get started, visit: Send the manufactured home and co-op spreadsheets to the Tax Department. The May 8 deadline applies to all municipalities except those in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which have later assessment calendars.
Each spreadsheet has two tabs, one of which must be completed manually. You must complete both tabs of the spreadsheets. If we do not receive complete data from you, your residents may not receive their STAR credits, or they can become significantly delayed.
We need complete inventory for every park and co-op annually. Your data must include all manufactured home lots (including vacant and rented manufactured homes) and co-op units, not just those you deem STAR relevant.

Two new STAR letters hitting mailboxes
Beginning this week, we’ll be mailing two new letters, RP-5300-INCE and RP-5300-INCB, to impacted STAR recipients across the state.
RP-5300-INCE: Recipients of this letter are not eligible for the STAR exemption this year, as the income of the owners and owners’ spouses who reside at the property exceeded $250,000. They may be eligible for the STAR credit, if they choose to switch.
RP-5300-INCB: Recipients of this letter are not eligible for any STAR benefit this year, as the income of the owners and owners’ spouses who reside at the property exceeded $500,000.
If you are contacted by a property owner about either letter, please direct them to our STAR Resource Center featuring our new Respond to a STAR letter page. This page is a new resource and as we continue to mail 2026 STAR letters, we'll add them to this 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.
