How Finance Bills
The Statement of Account (SOA) is both a property tax bill and an account summary. It shows:
- Amount due now for property tax, including any past due taxes
- Amount due for property charges determined by other City agencies., including any past due charges (DEP bills separately for water and sewer charges.)
- Amount due later in the tax year
- Payments received since previous SOA
- Credits
- How we computed your tax based on the property’s assessed value, the tax rate, and any reductions (exemptions and abatements)
Finance mails the Statement only to owners who pay the tax by themselves and who have a balance. All owners may view their most recent Statements online by clicking below.

- 1% on the full amount of your yearly property tax if you pay the entire amount shown on your bill by the July due date (or grace period due date).
- 0.66% discount on the last three quarters if you wait until October to pay the entire amount due.
- 0.33% discount on the last six months of your taxes when you pay the balance by the January due date.
If you pay semi-annually you will receive the 1% discount if the entire amount owed for the tax year is paid by July 1st.
