Assessment rolls

Assessment rolls list information for every property in the assessing unit (municipality or county). The information on the assessment roll is  available from your county website. All assessing units publish tentative and final assessment rolls annually. In most towns and cities, the tentative roll is published on May 1. At that time, you can check your assessment, market value and related information, as well as review the assessments of other properties in the community.

We encourage you to Check your assesmsment annually

Following publication of the tentative assessment roll, property owners have the opportunity to contest their assessments.                            See an Overview of the assessment roll.

After making any necessary adjustments, the final assessment roll is published on or around July 1.                                                                    Each year, property tax bills are based on the information on the final assessment roll.

STAR CREDIT

If you are a homeowner looking for their STAR credit, please call:                                  518-457-2036                                         (Local assessors do not have any information regarding credits & have no authority to review the determinations of the Tax Department)

If you are eligible & enrolled in the STAR program, you'll receive your benefit each year in one of two ways:  

*STAR credit- If you are registered for the STAR credit, the Tax Department will issue your STAR benefit via check or direct deposit.

*STAR exemption- A reduction on your school tax bill.  If you've been receiving the STAR exemption since 2015, you can continue to receive it for the same primary residence.

**The STAR exemption is no longer available to new homeowners**

**Note: The property tax relief credit has expired.  Eligible homeowners received property tax relief credits in 2017, 2018, & 2019.  However, by law, the program expired after 2019.
