How will the elimination of the middle class STAR rebate program affect my taxes?
Because state leaders eliminated the Middle Class STAR rebate program in the 2009-10 state budget, Duanesburg residents should not expect to receive this state rebate check in the fall. However, the Basic STAR and Enhanced STAR programs are still in place. All New Yorkers who own their own homes can significantly reduce their school taxes by taking advantage of these programs. Call your town assessor if you have questions about these program, about income limitations or if you wish to apply for STAR.
