Manufactured Home Parks and Cooperative Buildings with multiple STAR exemptions for the 2015-16 school tax levy. 

For the upcoming Property Tax Freeze Credit and continued STAR registration program, the Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS) is requesting additional parcel data for all Basic and Enhanced STAR recipients in Mobile Home Parks and Cooperatives which are not separately identified on the assessment roll.

 

This information is especially critical this year for two reasons:

  1. It will allow us to continue our work with STAR registration to make certain those who deserve an exemption receive it.
  2. This information is vital to for Property Tax Freeze Credit. We will be mailing checks using the first name, last name and mailing address fields on this spreadsheet. Without complete information in those fields, mailing checks will not be possible.

 

Please use ONE of the attached spreadsheets to provide name, address and some additional identification data for the appropriate Mobile Home and Cooperative STAR recipients.

 

If you use the RPS system, the attached spreadsheet titled “RPSLoadMH” contains an Excel query and instructions to load data from your mobile home table into the Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet titled “RPSLoadCoop” is used in a similar way to load data from your cooperative table.

 

If you choose to use the queries, we ask that you review the mobile home and co-op data and make any necessary corrections before submitting it to ORPTS.

 

If you are not an RPS system user or do not want to use the Excel query, enter the appropriate data in the fields indicated on the attached Excel spreadsheet titled “Manual Load.”

 

Please send the completed spreadsheet to orpts.MHCoop@tax.ny.gov by August 10, 2015.

 

If you do NOT have any mobile home parks or cooperatives with multiple STAR exemptions, please send notification to orpts.MHCoop@tax.ny.gov.
