How we can help
The Assessment Office values real property to support equitable distribution of the tax burden and administers property tax exemptions. Ask the office about local exemptions, eligibility, required documents and filing deadlines. STAR credit registration is handled by New York State; see the separate guidance below.
STAR credit and exemptions
New homeowners and residents applying for STAR for the first time should register for the STAR credit with New York State. Eligible recipients receive a check or direct deposit; registration generally does not need to be repeated each year.
Existing STAR exemption recipients receive a reduction on their school tax bill and may continue while eligible. Beginning in 2026, New York State automatically upgrades eligible recipients to Enhanced STAR.
Local exemption filing dates
For other property-tax exemptions and local filing deadlines, contact the Town Assessor. Local exemption application deadlines are separate from STAR credit registration.

Contact the office with your property address and the program you are interested in. Staff can explain eligibility and which application and supporting documents are needed. This preview does not determine eligibility.
