Star School Property Tax Program

The Star School Property Tax Program offers partial exemption for school property taxes and applies to all homeowners, regardless of age or income. A component to the Star Program is the "Enhanced Star Program" available to senior citizens only with an annual income of $60,000 or less. Property owners must submit an application to receive the partial exemption, and deadlines vary according to eligibility. We encourage all property owners to contact the City Assessor's Office at 607-749-3153 for detailed information.

Application forms and informational pamphlets are available at the City of Cortland Finance Office, but applications must be submitted to:
