Two changes to school tax bills

School and local tax officials, please be aware that, as a result of the 2019-2020 Enacted State Budget, school tax bill processors will need to make two changes to the 2019 bills:

• Change the note for those receiving the STAR credit to read:
  An estimated STAR check has been or will be mailed to you by the NYS Tax Department. Any overpayment or underpayment can be reconciled on your next tax return or STAR credit check.
• For those property owners receiving the STAR exemption, change the note regarding the cap on STAR savings to read:
  Note: This year’s STAR exemption benefit cannot exceed last year’s benefit.

Thank you for notifying the appropriate parties in your district to these changes.
