The Statement of Account is both a property tax bill and account summary. It shows the property tax owed now and in the future as well as any credits you have.
Quarterly Statements of Account are mailed four times a
year, usually a month before taxes are due on July 1st, October 1st, January
1st, and April 1st.
Note: Statements will only be mailed to property
owners who pay their taxes directly to us and have a balance due. Owners who pay
taxes through a bank or mortgage servicing company will not receive a Statement
in the mail unless they are responsible for paying other charges, such as sidewalk repairs. Finance will continue to publish quarterly Statements for every property on our website.
Semi-Annual Statements of Account are mailed twice a year, usually before taxes are due on July 1st and January 1st.
The statement also includes an insert, "About Your Statement of Account", which provides detailed contact information.

If You Pay Your Own Property Tax...
The Statement of Account includes your property tax bill. We would like you to pay electronically because it reduces the possibility of error. If you don’t choose this option the statement has a coupon you can use to pay by mail.
You may pay what you owe for the next period - shown on the line on the coupon "Total Amount Due By." You can also pay the balance due for the remainder of the tax year - shown on the line "Everything You Owe". There is a schedule of discounts for paying in advance.
What is the discount for early payment?
If you pay quarterly and you want to pay the amount for the year by the July due date - that's the "Everything You Owe..." on the coupon - you will receive a 1.5% discount on the amount of your annual property tax. If you wait until the October due date and pay for the rest of the year, you receive a 1% discount. If you wait until the January due date to pay the balance due for the rest of the year, you receive a 0.5% discount on the balance.
If you pay semi-annually, the discount is only offered if you pay the entire amount by July.
If a Bank or Mortgage Lender Pays Your Property Tax...
Owners
who pay taxes through a bank or mortgage servicing company will not receive a
Statement in the mail unless they are responsible for paying other charges, such as sidewalk repairs. Finance will continue to publish quarterly Statements for every property on our website.
Some charges, such as
sidewalk and emergency repairs, are not included in the tax payment made by your bank or mortgage company. You must pay these yourself. For this reason, please review the Statement of Account carefully and call your bank if unsure.
If You Believe that You Have Already Paid "Previous Balance" Shown on the Statement
Call 311 or Email Property Tax Account Inquiries. If there is an error, we will correct the records.

Are some taxpayers required to pay property tax by electronic funds transfer (EFT)?
Effective July 1, 2005, owners of New York City properties having annual taxes of $300,000 or more must pay by electronic funds transfer ("EFT"). If this applies to you, please read about the Requirement to Pay by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
If your yearly tax bill is less than $300,000, you are not required to pay by EFT. You can if you wish.
What does "Credits Amount Due" mean? What should I do if I still have a credit remaining?
If you overpaid property tax, the amount will be credited to your account. If you do nothing it will be rolled-over to pay for the next period's tax. It will not be automatically sent back to.
However, if a credit appears on the "Overpayments Credit on Account" line of your Statement of Account, you may request this money be refunded by printing and filing a Property Refund Request application. You may also leave the credit on your account, where it will be applied automatically to the next balance due.
Why are there two addresses on the statement?
The address on the upper left is the property address. The address on the upper right is where the owner asked Finance to mail this information. It may be different or the same address as the property.
Where can I find information about my property's exemptions or abatements?
The last page of your Statement of Account has information on how Finance figured your property tax for the year. This information includes a detailed list of property tax reductions you receive, such as Basic STAR. It also shows how those exemptions or abatements reduced your taxes. If Finance has approved your application for a property tax exemption starting on July 1st, it will be listed on your statement.
I lost my Statement of Account. Can I get a replacement?
You can view and print a copy of your last Statement of Account on this web site. If you have lost your statement and are making a payment, you can use this copy to send your tax payment. You do not need to request a duplicate bill.
Make sure you have the most up-to-date record of your account activity and charges. View your current balance and make payments by our eService Center.
Where can I mail my property tax payment?
Make check(s) or money order(s) payable to NYC Department of Finance and mail to:
NYC Department of Finance
P.O. Box 32
New York, NY 10008-0032
