2027 Long Island property tax: what changed (early look)

Looking ahead to 2027 property tax on Long Island. Values shown are best-known statutory rates and known scheduled changes. Confirm with NY State and your county before relying on these for 2027.

Key 2027 numbers

No statutory threshold changes took effect in 2027. All STAR, senior, and tax-cap limits remained at their prior values.

What this means for your bill

Most homeowners don't need to do anything when these thresholds change — NY State automatically applies the new limit to your STAR or Senior exemption as long as you're enrolled in the Income Verification Program (IVP).

You should act if:

  • Your income is near the Enhanced STAR or Senior boundary — an adjustment in your favor could save you several hundred dollars per year
  • You bought a home this year — register STAR immediately; the new homeowner doesn't inherit the seller's STAR
  • You're 65+ and weren't enrolled in IVP — enroll now to switch from Basic to Enhanced automatically
