If you are a homeowner in New York State take a moment to check your school tax bill to see if you’re receiving the STAR benefit.

How can you tell if you are getting the STAR benefit?
Homeowners can look at their school tax bill to see if they are getting a STAR benefit. See the image below for examples of how the school tax bill looks with:
· the STAR exemption (a deduction on your bill),
· the STAR credit (a check mailed to you or direct deposited), or
· no STAR benefit at all.
If your school tax bill does not show a STAR benefit, and your property is your primary residence, you can sign up with New York State at www.tax.ny.gov/star or by calling 518-457-2036.
