New Owners

If New Baltimore is your PRIMARY residence, you may be eligible for certain programs. The Governor and Legislature have restructured the STAR program so that the Tax & Finance Dept. will administer NEW STAR applications, taking that duty from your local assessor. You will need to register with NYS to receive a STAR check. Rather than the STAR exemption being deducted from your school tax bill, you will have to pay your FULL tax bill and then receive the same STAR dollar benefit in the form of a check from the State.

To be eligible for a STAR check, you must register with the NYS Tax Dept. by:
·       Registering online at WWW.tax.ny.gov
·       Or by calling 518-457-2036
Seniors take note: There is an additional exemption available for Senior Citizens with an income of less than $42,399 (subject to change). This is based on your gross income (full Social Security, pension, interest, dividends, etc. before any tax deductions). Contact my office if you think you may qualify, since NYS does NOT monitor for this exemption. Be aware that March 1^st is our filing deadline, every year.

SENIOR RENEWAL APPLICATIONS WERE MAILED OUT IN OCTOBER, PLEASE RETURN WITH YOUR 2023 FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN, IF YOU DO NOT FILE, PLEASE BRING IN YOUR YEARLY STATEMENTS. DEADLINE IS MARCH 1, 2025.

Veterans who own and reside in New Baltimore should contact our office for information regarding the Veteran’s Exemption.  (March 1^st is the DEADLINE for ALL EXEMPTIONS).

New Home Owner? Register for the School Tax Relief (STAR) Credit. The STAR program can save homeowners hundreds of dollars each year. You only need to register once, and the Tax Department will send you a STAR credit check each year, as long as you’re eligible.https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/star/
