STAR program question

If I applied for the STAR program this year (yes, I've owned this house for almost 9 years and JUST filed...bad me) When does it go into affect, and how much of a % do you usually save??

TIA!

Re: STAR program question

When did you apply this year?

If you applied before the deadline for this year (March 1st typically), it will go into effect 1/1/09

If you applied after the deadline (typically March 1st), it will go in affect 1/1/10

You will save typically 1000 on avg which will save you basically 100 bucks a month on taxes

I live in the Town of Hempstead and I filed before the 12/31 deadline. I just got a letter back today saying it was approved and it will go towards my 10/08 taxes.

If you applied 12/2006, then STAR should have been applied to your 12/2007 tax bill. If it wasn't, then you should call the Assessor's Office at Town Hall in Farmingville and ask them to look up your house record, and see that
1. they received your STAR application,
2. if they did, then did they apply it to your tax bill?
3. If not, then why didn't they?

ETA: spelling correction

The Town Hall for the Town of Brookhaven is in Farmingville (sorry for my mistype before!). They have a web site. I think it's www.brookhaven.org or .gov. The phone numbers for the offices are listed there. Office hours are 9-4:30pm.
