Additionally, late in the summer, New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation providing a one-time, up to $150 property tax rebate to the city’s hundreds of thousands of low- and middle-class homeowners.

Additionally, New York City Mayor Eric Adams approved legislation providing a one-time property tax relief of up to $150 to hundreds of thousands of low- and middle-class city homeowners.
Owners of one, two, or three-family homes who made $250,000 or less in income in 2020 are qualified for the rebate as long as the home serves as their principal residence.
Beginning in late August, payments will be automatically delivered to homeowners who got a School Tax Relief (STAR) credit or exemption during the fiscal year 2023. A letter on how to verify your eligibility will be sent if the Department of Finance has insufficient income information.
Owners who believe they are eligible for the return but do not qualify for a STAR exemption can apply. The claim deadline is in November, and the refund checks should be sent out in the fall.
