When will my STAR credit arrive?
New York’s STAR credit helps homeowners with school taxes. The state publishes a delivery schedule by area and a lookup to see credits already issued.
STAR tips for homeowners
- The schedule is listed by area, so look up your town or city school district.
- Checks and direct deposits go to the information on file, so keep your address current with the NY Tax Department.
- New homeowners must register for the STAR credit; it is not automatic.
