Re: buying a house and the taxes
yes- they will stay the same
minus any exemptions they have- like is your Dad a vet?
you will have to reapply for STAR

Re: buying a house and the taxes
there's no way to say for sure...
he may have an additional star discount (senior, veteran, etc).
the house may or may not be assessed correctly. If its re-assessed, the taxes may go up (or down).
regardless of the above, taxes are likely to increase year after year.

They should but factor in any increase for annual budgets in your town. As they say, the sure things in life are death and taxes.

No hes not a vet, so he wouldn't have that discount.
What would be cause for a reassessment ??

it wouldn't be specific to your house, unless you grieve the taxes. But the counties update assessments every few years to try to keep up with changing market values.

Depending on his age, you might lose the ehanced Star, then they would go up!

also, if there were any additions made to the house that he didn't have a c/o for, he will need to apply for them before you can get a mortgage. At that time, the Town or County will raise your assessment.
