Refunds
Finance applies most property tax credit towards your next bill unless you request a refund.
Property Tax Credits
- Overpayments can occur if two parties make a payment at the same time or if a paid charge is canceled. Note: This type of credit will only be refunded to the party who made the payment.
- Reduction in property's assessed value – A taxpayer's successful appeal to the Tax Commission can result in a reduction of the property's assessed value.
- Property Tax Exemption - A taxpayer may receive a property tax exemption, such as STAR, Veterans or Senior Citizens Homeowners Exemption. These programs reduce the amount of tax due.
You may check whether your property has been issued a property tax refund by accessing the files below. The Property Tax Refund files list any recent refunds that were issued on a property and include tax periods, refund amounts, check date, and check number. Please allow 8 weeks for us to process your claim.
