School Tax Rates and the Decreasing Impact of STAR

Click here to View your School Tax rates and the decreasing impact of STAR as set by the State over the last 3 years beginning with 2007 to 2009.

The State of New York establishes the STAR exemptions. The town nor our schools have anything to do with establishing these exemptions.

As you can see with the decrease in the STAR amounts, even though our school tax rates decreased, property owners are paying more due to the State's decrease.
