March 17th is the deadline to apply for property tax exemptions!

The City of New York offers tax break down known as exemptions to seniors, veterans, clergy members, people with disabilities, and others. See below for links to information on specific exemptions.

• The Senior Citizen Homeowners’ Exemption (SCHE) is a property tax break for seniors who own one-, two-, or three-family homes, condominiums, or cooperative apartments.

• The Disabled Homeowners’ Exemption (DHE) is a property tax break for disabled New Yorkers who own one-, two-, or three-family homes, condominiums, or cooperative apartments.

• The School Tax Relief (STAR) and Enhanced School Tax Relief (E-STAR) benefits offer property tax relief to eligible New York homeowners. STAR and E-STAR can be issued as a credit by the State of New York, or, in some cases, as a tax exemption by the City of New York.

  While most property owners must apply to receive the credit from the state, some property owners can apply to receive STAR as a property tax exemption.
