Homeowners! Finally!

Never thought it would ever happen for us but we are finally homeownersChat Icon

So now....the questions begin....

I do not know anything about STAR. Is that something I have to apply for now? Or has that ship passed? does that mean I will have to pay extra next year?Chat Icon

And here's a picture (with a good shot of the porch that held up my closing for three months)!Chat Icon

Re: Homeowners! Finally!

Congrats! I am pretty sure that STAR just passed but you can probably try for next year at the end of the year.

I also am not sure of the specifics but I think the taxes for this year would be based on previous homeowners.

FWIW, I don't think STAR makes a huge difference anyways. Taxes are unfortunately a guarantee here on LI.

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new home very much.

There's always a gap with the STAR, since current taxes are already in place. But as others have said, it's rolling applications (at least in Nassau) even though it won't kick in right away.

Re: Homeowners! Finally!

STAR applications are due March 1st!!! If you go to your local tax assessor's office in person you should still be able to do it as long as it's in by Friday. DH and I just bought our house on 1/21 and we were told we had until March 1st to file. It doesn't take effect until the 2014-2015 school year though. Good luck!
