Property Tax Exemption Review List: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
4,141 New York residence exemptions with ineligibility signals, about $3,830,027 a year in tax, by municipality.
Headline: STAR, senior, veterans and disability exemptions require that the home be the owner's primary residence, yet the 2025 New York roll carries them on homes whose tax bill goes out of state, on second homes of an owner who already claims one, and on homes owned by LLCs and corporations.
This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 4,141 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/exemption-misclassification/.

Method and limits
Residence exemption codes 4180/4183/4185/4112 to 4116/4193 on 1 to 3 family homes. dup: the same owner name and mailing address hold a residence exemption on 2 or more parcels at different addresses (the one at the mailing address, else the most valuable, is presumed the home); 592 parcels. oos: bill mailed outside New York; 3,108 parcels. ent: owner is a business entity (trusts kept out; entities on 5+ exempt homes treated as co-ops); 467 parcels. Tax = exempt amount x school, county and municipal rates for the SWIS, converted to full value where the rate is a full-value rate.
Not a finding that any owner is ineligible: each flag is a reason to review, decided by the assessor. Never sold or shown to anyone but the deciding assessor or tax office, for its own jurisdiction; no names on the website or in the sample. Not for qui tam or private enforcement use. Tax figures are estimates.
