Tentative Roll Corrections Report (report #4) now available
Report #4 (tentative roll corrections) is now available in the Online Assessment Community for most municipalities with a May 1 tentative roll date who provided their tentative roll files to ORPTS on a timely basis (by May 10).
The Tentative Roll Corrections Report indicates STAR changes that must be made prior to finalizing the final assessment roll. It includes the following:
- disparities between the tentative assessment roll and reports #1, 2, and 3
- changes to our determination due to a taxpayer responding to our mailing
- flags for parcels that have missing rolls or registrations
For more details, see the instructions.

STAR letter hitting mailboxes
We are continuing to mail the following letter to impacted STAR recipients across the state:
RP-5300-INC: Recipients of this letter are not eligible for the Basic STAR exemption or Enhanced STAR benefit this year, as the income of the owners and owners’ spouses who reside at the property exceeded the income limit. They may be eligible for the applicable Basic STAR benefit, which they will receive if they are otherwise eligible.
If you are contacted by a property owner about any of these letters, 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.
