How do you apply for or switch to the STAR credit?

To apply for the STAR credit or to switch from the STAR exemption to the STAR credit, please visit the STAR website or call 518-457-2036 weekdays, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Once registered for the STAR credit, homeowners will not need to register again in the future, unless there has been a change in homeownership. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will review STAR credit registrations each year to determine whether a homeowner is eligible for the Basic or Enhanced STAR credit and will issue a check for the respective benefit.
