STAR REBATE CHECKS

Are you getting a tax rebate check from the state?

If you are enrolled in New York's STAR program you will get a property tax rebate check if your school district stayed under the property tax cap. Your rebate will also depend on local government compliance with the cap. Additionally, your school district must have had an efficiency plan approved by the state, which demonstrates that they are working to reduce the amount of taxes they levy.

According to the Democrat and Chronicle's database regarding all of this, Gasport residents from Hartland or Royalton will be getting a full rebate check. If you have a Gasport zip code but live in the town of Lockport, your check will be smaller.
