New STAR applicants must register by July 1 to receive check in September

Due to recent changes in the School Tax Relief (STAR) program certain homeowners in New York State will now have to register for the new STAR credit. These new applicants must register with New York State (not their  local assessor) by July 1 in order to receive a check in September. Homeowners who register after July 1 will receive a check at a later date. NYSAR created a flyer for its REALTOR members to assist them in working with consumers.
