Most recipients of the STAR exemption or credit will automatically qualify and will not need to take any action to receive the property tax rebate.
If you are not currently receiving STAR, but believe you may qualify for the rebate, you can apply online or in person at a DOF Business Center.
You will need to include the following with your application:
- The name and social security number of all property owners or beneficiaries of a trust who use this property as their primary residence
- A copy of a current driver's license, state-issued photo identification, or voter registration card for at least one owner who uses the property as their primary residence
After you apply, DOF will notify you when a decision has been made.
Online
Online submission is the fastest way for DOF to receive and review your information. It may take up to four weeks to process online applications.
