If you haven’t changed any of your property information, your STAR rebate check should automatically be on its way to you today. If you make over $250,000/year, you don’t get one. Find out how much you’ll get via the link below. [http://www.tax.state.ny.us/star/2008/](http://www.tax.state.ny.us/star/2008/) ---

> [@Terry](#): > > So if I read that site right they should be sending me an application in the mail shortly for this? Just bought the house in April but I’m assuming I’m eligible. don’t assume they will send it too you. The first time and and arbitrary times afterwards you have to apply(reapply) for STAR. Check with your town hall. Also if you are a Veteran check for that school tax discount. ---

Mine comes off my tax bill automatically, see below. Wonder if i’ll get a check too? (They figured out my grandma died so I don’t get the senior exemption any more, that thing rocked. Sneaky bastards.) ---

:picard: Whole lot of people in this thread not willing to spend 30 seconds reading online to get anywhere from a $100-$500 check. Here’s a hint, the rebate checks are separate from your STAR reduction on your taxes. I’d post the links but I’m so disgusted by the lack of effort thus far I’ve decided if you can’t find it on your own the state should get to keep your money. ---

Says a check in addition to the tax bill exemption… _Nearly 3.3 million households may be eligible for a STAR rebate, which is in addition to the STAR property exemption on taxpayers’ school tax bills. It is expected that more than $1.1 billion will be turned back to homeowners through this year’s rebate program._ Rebate checks and applications will be mailed automatically in alphabetical order, by county, meaning that Albany County homeowners will receive their checks or applications first, followed by homeowners in Allegany and Broome Counties. Mailing to all of the state’s counties, including the City of New York, will be completed by the end of October. ---
