As part of the New York State Middle Class STAR program, which was approved by the Legislature back in April, Mohonasen homeowners
must file an application to get their property tax rebate checks this year.
Please do not get these new rebate checks confused with the STAR that everyone has come to know. There are now two types of STAR school tax reductions:
- The Basic STAR and Enhanced STAR tax exemption programs will continue as they have in the past. You must apply for the Enhanced STAR
program through the town assessor by March 1 each year.
- The new
Middle Class STAR rebate checks will be in addition to the Basic and Enhanced STAR savings. Property owners who receive a Basic STAR exemption with an income of less than $250,000 must apply for the check because it is based on a recipient’s income. The New York State Department of Tax & Finance has begun mailing Middle Class STAR rebate applications to homeowners, which are expected to arrive in September.
You must fill out and file the Middle Class STAR application by November 30, 2007.
Senior citizens who receive an Enhanced STAR exemption will receive a rebate check automatically without needing to complete an application.
