Start planning your public education campaigns

If you’re doing a reassessment for 2027, 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.

STAR letters hitting mailboxes

We are continuing to mail the following letter to impacted STAR recipients across the state:

RP-5300-WSC: Recipients of this letter are registered for the STAR credit. We are not able to confirm they meet the income requirements for a STAR benefit based on the information we have on file. Recipients of this letter should follow the instructions to provide their income information using the Homeowner Benefit Portal or our online STAR Income Worksheet.

Reminder: New STAR seminars coming this summer for homeowners. (You’re also welcome to attend!)

This summer we are launching a tour of STAR seminars across the state.

In each presentation, we will share with homeowners:

• a brief history of the program,
• what to expect from the program if they are already enrolled, and
• steps on how to enroll if they are a new homeowner.

We will also cover our most common FAQs and have staff on site to help new homeowners register at self-service kiosks.

Each event is open to the public; preregistration is not required.
