Here is background information for you if you don't know about STAR:
What is STAR? The New York State School Tax Relief Program (STAR) provides homeowners with two types of partial exemptions from school property taxes. If you earn less than $500,000 and own and live in your home, you’re probably eligible for the STAR exemption. There are two types of STAR exemption: Basic and Enhanced.
Basic STAR • Basic STAR is available for owner-occupied, primary residences where the resident owner's and spouse's income is less than $500,000.• Enhanced STAR • Enhanced STAR provides an increased benefit for the primary residences of senior citizens (age 65 and older) with qualifying incomes less than $81,900. •
