2007 Middle Class STAR Rebate Program - General Program Information



Highlights

The 2007 Middle Class STAR Rebate Program is based not only on your property tax burden, but also on your ability to pay, factoring in your income level.

The first step in targeting this relief for property owners who receive a basic STAR exemption on their 2007-2008 school tax bill was for homeowners to fill out a simple application that allows the State to calculate the amount of the targeted rebate. The deadline to apply was December 31, 2007.

Senior citizens who are property owners and receive an enhanced STAR exemption on their 2007-2008 tax bill received a rebate check automatically. For seniors with enhanced STAR benefits, no applications are required. If you have not received your enhanced check, please contact us at 1-877-678-2769.

Application Process

The Tax Department mailed letters alerting homeowners who receive the basic STAR exemption of the need to apply in order to receive this year’s Middle Class STAR rebate.

Check Distribution

Middle Class STAR applications are processed and rebate checks are issued as soon as possible.  However, some applications require additional processing time.  We appreciate your patience.
