For
your information:
Those receiving Basic and
Enhanced STAR on the 2007 assessment roll will be
eligible for the rebates. Unlike last year, those
who are not already receiving Basic and Enhanced
STAR will not be able to submit applications for the
rebate. While applications may be filed with ORPS
until November 30, if an applicant did not receive
the STAR exemption on the 2007 roll, he or she will
not be eligible for the rebate this year.
Basic STAR recipients
Basic STAR recipients who applied for the 2007
rebate do not have to reapply as long as the
property information remains the same. Rebate checks
automatically will be issued by the end of October.
The amount will be about the same as last year.
If homeowners didn't apply for 2007, or if property
information changed during the year, you must apply
by December 31, 2008
Property owners with income more than $250,000 are
not eligible for a rebate check, even with a basic
STAR exemption.
Enhanced STAR recipients

issued a rebate check automatically by the end of
October. Like with Basic STAR Recipients, if
property information remained the same, Enhanced
STAR recipients do not have to apply. Enhanced
