We began issuing STAR credits to eligible homeowners in your school district on August 29. If we have the information necessary to issue your STAR credit and you are eligible, you can expect to receive your credit before your school tax due date. We will send you a letter if you are ineligible or if we do not have the information necessary to issue your STAR credit.

 

To see if we have issued your credit, visit the Property Tax Credit Lookup. We update the lookup daily as credits are issued.

To have your STAR credit direct deposited into your bank account, enroll in STAR Credit Direct Deposit at least seven days before we begin issuing credits in your area. If you enroll in direct deposit after your credit has been processed, you will receive your credit as a check this year. In future years, you will receive your STAR benefit by direct deposit as long as you remain eligible", according to the New York State website.
